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!

Lovely and delicious fried rice. Adding soy sauce will give a nice fragrant to the rice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dhanish.
DeleteYes, soy sauce is an important ingredient, adds great flavor.
The eggs are a must for us. Am not sure why but for me, eggs cannot be separated when its fried rice. I tend to use leftover rice mostly. Simple flavors but its a welcomed as a meal for me.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, eggs rule most of my dishes too!
DeleteActually left over rice is a good idea, than the one day old rice.
Delicious fried rice...
