Chinese Fried Rice



This is the Indo-Chinese fried rice. The actual fried rice in authentic chinese restaurants would be totally different to the fried rice we make in India.
We add Indian flavours to the chinese dishes to suit our taste.
Here's the recipe for the same :

Ingredients:


  • Rice - 1 cup
  • Water or Vegetable Broth - 2 cups
  • Ginger - 1 tsp
  • Garlic - 1 tsp
  • Vegetables - 1 1/2 ( Carrots, Beans, Cabbage, Bell Peppers )
  • Green Onions - 1 -2 springs
  • Egg - 1 ( optional ) You can avoid it if you do not eat egg.
  • Oil - 2 tbsp
  • Salt -to taste
  • Black Pepper Powder - to taste
  • Soy Sauce - 1-2 tbsp
  • White vinegar - 1 tsp
  • Chilli Sauce - to taste

Directions :

  • Cook rice with water or broth . Let it cool. Keep aside.
  • In a wide wok , heat oil and saute very finely chopped garlic and ginger for 1 minute.
  • Add all the vegetables and saute them for a couple of minutes. Do not cook them completely. We need to semi cook the veggies. They are good crunchy.
  • In a separate small pan, add the beaten egg and scramble it. Cook till done.
  • Mix the scrambled egg with the veggies in the wok.
  • Add the cooked rice and very little salt. Mix well.
  • Add soy souce, vinegar and chilli sauce. Keep stirring for a couple of minutes till all the veggies are well incorporated with the rice.
  • Garnish with Chopped spring onions ( green onions ) and pepper powder.

Note: Be careful with salt because soy sauce, vinegar and chilli sauce also contain salt.
