VEGETABLE FRIED RICE

 

Think about Chinese food and the first thing that comes to our mind is fried rice. Today I am sharing a very simple and flavorful recipe of basic vegetable fried rice. This can be served with Ginger chicken or or any other Chinese gravy of your choice.

Serves = 4 to 5

Ingredients

3 cups long grained basmati rice

3 to 4 spring onions finely chopped

1/2 cabbage cut into thin strips

2 carrots finely chopped

10 to 12 beans finely chopped

1/2 cup peas

1 1/2 tbsp soya sauce

Salt to taste

1/2 cup oil

Method

• Boil water in a large pan and add salt.
• When water starts boiling add the washed and drained rice to it and cook till the rice is 3/ 4^th done.
• Using a strainer drain out the excess water and allow the rice to cool. Make sure that the rice grains remain separate and do not stick with one another.
• Heat oil in a thick bottomed pan, add spring onion bulbs and saute for a minute.
• Now add peas, carrot and saute till they are half cooked.
• Add beans and cabbage and cook for some time.
• Keep stirring the vegetables in high flame to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
• When the vegetables are cooked and still crisp, add salt and soya sauce.
• Mix well and add the cooked rice.
• Gently mix everything and make sure that the rice does not break.
• Garnish with spring onion greens and serve hot.
