Vegetable Fried Rice

Simple and easy to make stir fried vegetable rice, kids would love, no MSG… just a little light soy sauce, which is optional too…. Pack this for lunch with ketchup, no kidding… great side.

 

Vegetable Fried / Stir-Fried Vegetable Rice / Indo-Chinese Fried Rice / Fried Rice Recipe / How to make simple fried rice? / Chinese Fried Rice
Ingredients
¼ cup Cabbage (shredded)
¼ cup Carrots (shredded)
¼ cup Bell pepper/ capsicum(thinly sliced)_
3 tsp Ginger garlic (minced)
2 tsp Black pepper powder (freshly ground preferred)
½ tsp Salt (or to taste)
2 tsp Soy sauce (light)
¼ cup Spring/green onions (finely chopped)
2 cup Cooked rice (basmati preferred)
5 tsp Oil

Instructions

_

The whole mixing has to be done on high flame, so get all the ingredients ready before starting. Rice needs to be cold, warm or hot rice would spoil the dish. A day old basmati rice works well. Get the wok or Kadai ready on high flame, heat oil, add all the veggies(except spring onions).  Stir fry them with a pinch of salt, later add the cooked rice to it, sprinkle salt , freshly ground pepper and light soy sauce(optional). Mix well and keep stir frying for couple of minutes. Switch off garnish with the spring onions and serve.

Notes

 Tomato sauce or ketchup would come in handy if you don’t have a side dish.  Excellent lunch menu for bachelors.

    Hello Mullai, tried this recipe and the taste was awesome, we liked it. But the color was not as white as yours, is that cos of the dark soy sauce i used?? I used only very little of it since I dint have a lighter one. How to obtain pure white colored rice like yours?? I had tried so many of ur recipes and everything had turned out to be a great hit. Thanks for posting excellent recipes with clear instructions.

    hi mullai,

    actually here is a tip for fried rice , while cooking rice put 1 tsp of oil and little salt , so that the cooked rice don’t stick to eachother , and also refrigerate the rice once cooked,if this is done the fried rice will really turn out awsome …

    Hello Mullai ma'am, I'm going to make Veg-fried rice for tonite's dinner with gobi manchurian. In chicken fried rice u have mentioned to add chilli sauce, do i need to add for the veg-fried rice too. Also i'm having only dark soy sauce will it good to make. Pls tell me the some other suitable side dish for veg-fried rice…I'm waiting for ur reply to cook…

    One more thing, where can i get PANKO bread crumbs ? Will it be available in Stop & Shop ?

      Shan,

      Its your choice, no harm in adding chilli sauce, it just enhances the flavour. Dark soy sauce is fine, but see that you add little less and then adjust accordingly. Paneer butter masala, Peas masala, chicken tikka masala, simple egg curyy should be ok too. Panko is available in all supermarkets chains, should be under International foods section. We don't have Stop & Shop here in Michigan, not really sure, try and let me know.

    Hi, just amazed with your recipe collection. I’m always having a basic problem/difficulty in cooking basmati rice in non-stick mode. I would appreciate if you could help me out, thanks.

      hi Singai,

            you can add few drops of oil while cooking the rice.This will prevent the rice grains from being sticky.

          Hope this helps you.

      Singai, do u use a rice cooker? It also depends on the variety of rice too, some cheap brands tend to stick. For good brands its 1 cup rice:2 cups water ratio. Sujatha has given one good solution , try a few drops of lemon juice while cooking rice or use a pinch of sugar. Do not stir rice while cooking this would tend to make them more sticky. Hope this helps.
