Simple Fried Rice

The traditional Chinese version of fried rice contains egg, that is the base. Also they use 'one day old cooked white rice'. Yep, you heard it right! But here, I jotted down a simple yet authentic Chinese Veg Fried Rice(of course with egg but not with one-day old rice :-) ). The ones, who cannot consume egg, can very well skip point number 3 and instead can add capsicum, works just fine.

Ingredients:
1)Cooked long grain rice - 1 cup(should be grainy, less water please)
2)Egg - 2 nos
3)Carrot - 1 (medium, chopped)
4)Beans - 7 (chopped)
5)Green Chilli - 1 (chopped)
6)Regular Onion(Spring Onion works well too) - 1 (chopped)
7)Garlic - 3 pods(chopped)
8)Pepper powder - as per your taste
9)Soy Sauce(light) - 1 tsp
10)Salt - to taste
11)Oil - 2 tsp

Preparation:
1)Heat 1 tsp of oil in a frying pan and add chopped green chilli, garlic, onion and salt. Saute until onion turns translucent.
2)Now add the chopped veggies and saute until they are cooked 90%(Yes, for any fried rice - the veggies should not be cooked 100%, otherwise it loses the crunchiness). Keep aside.
3)Heat 1 tsp of oil and add eggs, scramble them.( Even eggs should only be cooked 90%)
4)Add the sauteed veggies into the pan and mix well. Add salt and pepper to the mixture and stir well.
5)Add the cooked rice and mix well.
6)Add 1 tsp of soy sauce and stir well.

Your authentic Chinese fried rice is ready to be devoured!
