WHAT KIND OF RICE CAN I USE FOR FRIED RICE?
The BEST Fried Rice is best made with leftover rice, specially a day old cooked rice - that has been cooked and refrigerated. All that needs to be done, is to separate the rice with your wet fingers before adding it to the wok.
You can use any rice - Basmati Rice, Long Grain Rice, Broken Basmati Rice, Brown Rice, Jasmine Rice, Shortgrain Rice - literally anything. Just remember to Always avoid using sticky or glutinous rice to make the recipe.
What if I don't have any left over rice? Well, there is nothing to worry. Cook freshly steamed rice and spread it in a baking tray, allow it to cool down completely before it goes into the wok. Fork it up before use. Just remember to cook with slightly less water than usual as it allows the rice grains to stay separate.
The other Instant Shortcut Rice is to use Heat and Serve Microwaveable Ready to Use Rice.
WHAT VEGETABLES TO PUT IN FRIED RICE?
I like to add mixed Vegetables like Carrots, Green & Red Peppers, Green Peas, Celery, Red Onions and Spring Onions. But you can also add Baby Corn, Green Peas, Cabbage, Asparagus, Snow Peas and may be some greens too. But with the Easy Indo Chinese Fried Rice Recipe, I like to keep it simple and add the ones that cook in a jiffy.
Sometimes I like to stir in some scrambled eggs to make Egg fried rice too.
WHAT ARE THE SEASONING IN A FRIED RICE?
In an Indo Chinese Fried Rice,
seasoning is Ginger Garlic, Soy Sauce and Vinegar. I like to add Vegetable Stock Cube too { flavours are just mind-blowing } , but you can give it a miss if it not available.
One question I am often asked is How do you make Indian Vegetable Fried Rice? Is it any different from Chinese Fried Rice? Well, for us simple Fried Rice is our favorite Indo - Chinese Version.
