Equipment
- Iron Wok
MEASUREMENT
1 cup = 250ml, 1 tablespoon = 15ml, 1 teaspoon = 5ml
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked Rice at room temperature
- 6-8 Garlic Cloves Finely Chopped
- ⅓ cup Mixed Vegetables Finely Chopped 2 tablespoon each of Carrots & French Beans
- 1 Small Onion Finely Chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Gingelly Oil
- 1 teaspoon Soy Sauce
- ¼ teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper Powder optional
- ½ teaspoon Sugar
- Salt as needed
- 2-3 tablespoon Finely Chopped Spring Onions/Cilantro to Garnish
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.
