Vegetable Fried Rice

The most favourite food of mine is Veg Fried Rice with Gobi Manchurian gravy. I still remember my father usually get it for me every week or atleast twice a week from hotel when I was in college. When ever I feel bored, we usually go for a long walk in kilometers and will have Fried rice and will come back again walking. It will be more peaceful to go on such a walk with most loving father. I first tried making fried rice after marriage which really came out well. It is easy to make and taste and look lies in veggies how fine its been chopped.

Preparation time: 20 mins
Cooking time: 25 mins 
Serves - 2nos

Ingredients:

Basmathi rice -1 cup(200 gm)
Garlic cloves- 25 nos (finely chopped)
Beans - 100 gm (finely chopped)
Carrot - 1no (finely chopped)
Cabbage -1 cup (shredded )
Capsicum - 1/2 (finely chopped)
Spring onion - 1 tablespoon (finely chopped)
Soya sauce - 1 teaspoon
Red chilli sauce - 1 teaspoon
Vinegar - 1 teaspoon
Pepper powder - to taste (2 teaspoon)
Salt - to taste
Sugar -1/2 teaspoon
Oil - 3 tablespoon
Water - 6 cup

Method:

To Cook Rice:

1. Soak basmathi rice for 30 mins and wash well to remove starch from it.
2. Boil water in a open pressure pan/pot by adding 1 teaspoon of oil and little salt. Add soaked and drained basmathi rice to the hot water.
3. In a low flame gently cook rice without lid.



4. When rice is cooked, drain rice and allow to cool down and gets separated.



To make Fried Rice:

1. Heat 3 tablespoon of oil in a wok/ large kadai and add finely chopped garlic. Saute it for a minute and add beans. Cook until beans turns little crispy, add carrot, capsicum and cabbage one by one and saute well.



2.In a high flame continuously toss and stir while frying so that the veggies are uniformly cooked and do not get burnt.
3. Veggies have to be stir fried, till they are almost cooked and yet retain their crunchiness and crispiness.



4. Add soya sauce, chilli sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar to the veggies and saute well for 2 minute.



5. Immediately add rice and toss well. Add pepper powder and stir fry for a few minutes till the sauce has coated the fried rice well. Keep a check when adding salt, as soy sauce already has salt in it.



6. Before switching off flame add spring onion and toss a minute.

Yummy, hot Fried rice is ready to be served. Serve it hot with Indochinese gravy (Gobi Manchurian, Vegetable ball Manchurian).

Tips:

1. Don't saute garlic until it turns brown, just saute it until nice aroma arises.
2. Beans usually take large time to get cook in oil, so add it 1st and saute well until it turns crispy. Then add rest of the veggies.
