Fried Rice

Fried rice is a Chinese dish made of steam cooked rice and vegetables. It tastes so good when cooked in a wok (Chinese cooking vessel). It is also made with eggs and meat for variations. It is very easy to cook and can use the leftover rice. This can be prepared as one of the party menu. 


  

All you need is:

Boiled rice - 2 cups
Onion - 2 large
Beans, chopped - 10 to 15
Carrot, finely chopped - 1
Green capsicum, finely chopped - 1
Cabbage, chopped - 1/2 cup
Spring onion green, sliced - 2 stalks
Garlic cloves, chopped - 3
White pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Light soy sauce - 1 tsp
White vinegar - 1/2 tbsp
Salt - to taste
Oil - 4 tbsp


How is it cooked?

In a hot pan, pour some oil. Add garlic and stir fry it for a minute. Add chopped onions, beans, carrot, capsicum and cabbage. Stir fry it for couple of minutes. Add salt, white pepper powder and soy sauce.  Now add the boiled rice and mix thoroughly. Pour some vinegar and stir it for a minute. 


Garnish with the spring onion greens and serve it hot.





You may consider:

  1. I prepared it using a pan as I don't have a wok. But generally, wok helps to cook faster.
  2. Add less salt. Because soy sauce also has salt in it. It can be adjusted after adding rice with the vegetables. 
  3. Do not overcook the vegetables.
