Vegetable fried rice, Indo Chinese style

by 67 Comments

The thing I like about “Fried rice” is the pepper 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 gives a nice flavour and better for health too..!
Vegetable fried rice

Ingredients

Basmati/ long grain rice -1 cup
Cabbage,chopped – 1 cup
Carrot – 1
Capsicum – 1
Spring onion – 6 sprigs
Pepper – 1 & 1/4 tsp
Soy sauce – 1 tsp
Ajinomoto(optional) -1/2 tsp
Salt – As needed
Olive oil – 4 tbsp

Fried rice

Method:

  1. Soak basmati rice for 20 mins and cook rice with  1 & 1/2 cups water. Cool and make the grains separate. You can keep refrigerated for best results. Or even use leftover rice.
  2. Cut the veggies as long thin strips as shown in the picture. Chop the base white part of spring onion and the green part separately. All the veggies
  3. Edited to Add: This is the way I julienne the carrots.Hope it is clear to understand. First cut into thin slices as shown in picture, then stack the slices and cut into julienne.

  4. Heat a broad pan and add the olive oil. First add the white part of the spring onion and then carrot,cabbage and capsicum,in order one by one,frying each for a minute. (add ajinomoto at this stage,if wanted)

I prefer this to serve with any kind of Manchurian side dish!

Notes:

I used freshly ground black pepper powder, you can substitute with white pepper powder.

Don’t over fry the veggies,retain its colour and crunchiness.

Be liberal in adding olive oil. Always eat hot!!

  67. 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.
