Recipe of vegetable fried rice with photos of each step. This is Indo Chinese version of fried rice that uses basmati rice. Authentic Chinese dishes use both long grain and short grain sticky rice.
Tips
- You may use any rice variety you like best.
- Rice cooked one day earlier work better because they are harder than fresh rice and therefore less fragile to breaking while mixing.
- You may add corns, cashew, green pea, French beans along with other veggies if you like.
- In all Indo Chinese recipes Chinese salt (sodium glutamate or Ajinomoto) is added as a taste enhancer. I always avoid it for health hazards attached to it. Most common but major hazard is for Blood pressure patients who must avoid it
These recipes go very well with fried rice.
