Fried Rice Recipe
Here’s a detailed and delicious Vegetable Fried Rice recipe that’s packed with vibrant veggies and irresistible flavors.
Ingredients (Serves 3-4):
Rice:
- 2 cups cooked and cooled basmati or jasmine rice (preferably day-old for better texture)
Vegetables:
- ½ cup chopped carrots
- ½ cup chopped beans
- ½ cup sweet corn kernels
- ½ cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- ¼ cup chopped cabbage
- ½ cup green peas
- 2-3 finely chopped spring onions (with greens)
Seasoning & Sauces:
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chili sauce (optional)
- 1 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tsp black pepper powder
- Salt to taste
Other Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp oil (vegetable or sesame)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp minced ginger
Instructions:
1. Cook the Rice:
- Cook 1 cup of rice in 2 cups of water. Once done, spread it on a tray and allow it to cool completely. Use a fork to fluff the grains.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Finely chop all the vegetables into small, uniform pieces for even cooking.
3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:
- Heat a wok or large pan over high heat and add oil.
- Once hot, add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the carrots, beans, and cabbage. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender.
- Add bell peppers, green peas, and sweet corn. Stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Vegetables should remain slightly crunchy.
4. Add Sauces and Seasonings:
- Add soy sauce, chili sauce, vinegar, black pepper powder, and salt. Mix well to coat the vegetables.
5. Combine Rice and Vegetables:
- Add the cooked rice to the wok. Gently toss everything together on high heat, ensuring the rice grains remain separate and get evenly coated with the sauce and veggies.
6. Final Touch:
- Sprinkle chopped spring onions (reserve some for garnish) and mix well.
7. Serve Hot:
- Garnish with the remaining spring onion greens and serve piping hot with your favorite side dish or on its own.
Tips for Perfect Fried Rice:
- Rice: Use cold, day-old rice for the best texture. Fresh rice tends to be sticky.
- Heat: Always cook on high heat for that smoky, restaurant-style flavor.
- Vegetables: Customize with your favorite veggies or add tofu for extra protein.
- Oil: Use sesame oil for an authentic Asian flavor.
