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.

Vegetable Fried Rice Recipe

Step by step recipe of vegetable fried rice

Boil water in a large pot. Also add salt and few drops of lemon juice. (Water should have soupy salt level, lemon is added to bring out bright white color of rice.)

When water boils add soaked rice and cook for 7-10 minutes or as per instructions on the rice pack. (We want 1Kani or 80% cooked rice.)

This photo might give you a visual estimation of ratio of different Vegetables. (So from left we have cabbage, carrot, capsicum, green chillies and green onions.)

First add chicken cube (if using), cabbage and carrot. Cook for 3 minutes. (Cabbage and carrot take longer time to cook so add them first.)

Add soy sauce. Do not cook veggies for more than a minutes. Just stir and add rice.

Mix rice carefully by turning up and down. (Mixing too much will break the rice.) Cover pot tightly and cook for 5-7 minutes on medium until steam rises to top.
