Vegetable fried rice

Vegetable fried rice recipe, a quick fast food one pot dish can be easily prepared at home in easy steps. Learn how to make with step by step pictures.

The thing I like about Fried rice is the flavour. My hubby also love that very much. This is my fried rice recipe I am loving, which I am hooked, after so many attempts. I prefer and recommend using olive oil, as it better for health. Fried rice needs good amount of oil to get the perfect result. Any oil would work if generously added. If you do not like olive oil flavour, you can use sesame oil next best. Sunflower oil and peanut oil works too.

The unique flavour that fried rice have comes from the tossing in high flame. When the things in the wok catch fire in high flame, it lends a great flavour. At home, this is not possible with the small burner we have, still try to cook in high flame. Do not let the vegetables cook soft. The total cooking time should be under 10 mins with cooked rice in hands.

For getting perfect rice for fried rice:

Choose any rice, be it basmati rice, fragrant rice or even sona masuri. Just cook it with less water to get separate grains. For basmati, Soak for 10 mins minimum. 1 cup of rice can be cooked with 1 & 1/2 cups water for 3 whistles in medium flame after first whistle. For sona masuri cook 1 cup of rice with 2 cups water for 3 whistles in medium flame. Once done, add 2 tsp oil and a sprinkle of salt and cool down.

You can refrigerate it for perfect grains to use in fried rice.

Notes

    hi raks,
    im confused about when to add the salt. should I cook rice along with salt, or should iadd it to the veggies while frying or should i just add it in the last mixing stage and toss the rice with the salt and veggies? please help. thanks.
