Instructions
First let the cooked rice (with salt added for the rice) cool down completely, spread it on a large plate.
In a wok, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Add 6-8 finely chopped garlic cloves – fry for 10-15 secs.
Add 1 small onion finely chopped along with 2 tablespoon each of finely chopped carrots and French beans. Stir fry on medium flame for 4-5 mins.
Add salt required to cook the vegetables. Add ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, ¼ teaspoon apple cider vinegar along with ½ teaspoon sugar. Stir fry for another 3-4 mins. At this stage, if using eggs, push the veggies to the side and heat 1 teaspoon of oil. Add eggs and let them slightly cook before scrambling them. Cook for 1-2 mins, without overcooking veggies or scrambled eggs.
Add 3 cups of cooked rice and set the flame on low.
Stir-fry gently until the rice is mixed well with the veggie mixture.
Set the flame on medium, garnish with 2-3 tablespoon finely chopped spring onions/cilantro, stir-fry for a couple of minutes and remove from heat.
Serve hot immediately with a side of any starter/appetizer or other Indo-Chinese side dishes.
Notes
As it is hard to find short grain Chinese rice in the market here, I have used Basmati rice. Replace it with rice of your choice.
Pepper Powder is optional – however gives the rice a little spiciness. I used black pepper powder but white pepper powder can also be used.
Apple Cider Vinegar is optional, but adding a little enhances the taste.
Soy Sauce contains salt, so be cautious while adding salt to the vegetables.
The rice has to be cooked and cooled down completely. It has to be fluffy and non-sticky for best results. I added salt while cooking the rice and salted only the vegetables while stir-frying.
Eggs or boiled meat can be added to this veg version.
I have skipped MSG/Ajinomoto which is the taste enhancer for making this fried rice healthier. Can be added if needed.
