FRIED RICE

 Today guest visited out home. So I preferred to prepare fried rice for lunch. Everyone likes fried rice and mostly when go to Chinese restaurants most of my family members order fried rice only. Till six months before I don't know how to prepare fried rice exactly resembles the taste of restaurants. I used to prepare fried rice slightly resembles Briyani. One day my mom told she watched in a TV programme and she note it down in her recipe book. I tried it, 75% goes with hotel taste. Still Something missed. But adding and lessening Ingredients, finally I manage to prepare exactly Chinese type fried rice. My kids love it very much. So at least once in a week I used to prepare it and pack it in lunch box for kids. 

Ingredients 

Raw Rice -      2 cups ( Basmathi rice is best and will give attractive look too, since I frequently 

                       Prepare Fried rice and variety rices, I prefer raw rice)

Capsicum  - 1 ( green, red, yellow each one)

Carrot        - 1

Beans        - 4

Cabbage   -  50 g

Spring onion - 1 bundle

Soya sauce - 2 tsp

Ajinomoto -  as needed

Salt - as needed

Pepper - as needed ( white pepper better)

Garlic - 2 

Ginger - 1 pinch

Oil - 2 tbs

Method

Boil raw rice by adding 3 cups of water. When cooked , spread it in a wide utensil or a plate, add salt, with a spoon spread the rice so that rice should separate well such that each rice visible separately. Allow the rice to cool well. If u have left over rice, with that rice also u can prepare this. If fresh rice, cook and allow it to cool at least for one hour.

Chop finely the white part of spring onion. Cut all vegetables finely. We use three capsicum in threecolours which give attractive look to the fried rice.  Mostly ginger garlic not used in fired rice. But I like to mix Indian flavour with Chinese. So i use them. Cut garlic and ginger finely. Capsicum and spring  onion is must for fired rice and both of these only give Chinese fried rice flavour. 

Heat a broad pan and add 2 tbs of oil, when oil heated add white part of chopped spring onion. After a minute, add ginger and garlic, then add carrot, beans, cabbage and sauté in high flame for few minutes, then add ajinomoto , finely chopped spring onions, pepper, I used black pepper but white pepper is best. Fry everything in very high flame, so that vegetables won't lose it crispiness, it should be crunchy,  then add cooked rice and mix everything well, garnish the fried rice with finely chopped spring onions. 

Serve hot with any gravy or kuruma .

You can add finely chopped and fried paneer, I will give paneer fried rice recipe another day.
