The rice to be used should not be basmathi or any long grain but thin short variety works good she said.When cooked the rice grains should look separate and needs to be cooked well before and spread in a bowl to cool.Till date I religiously follow my friend's advise and I have not followed any other version.With the passing of so many years and with the new gadgets making life easier,I made this dish in the morning to pack for lunch box.Thanks to the vegetable chopper which made half of my work easy and also the ready made vegetable stock/broth available.I wish to reproduce the same here. I am sure, when you try this recipe you will agree with me as it tastes the best.
I dedicate this recipe post to my friend Nalini (Dubai).Here is the colorful Chinese Fried Rice recipe.

INGREDIENTS

Carrot | 1 cup |
Capsicum/Green bell pepper | 1 cup |
Cabbage | 1 cup |
Green peas | 1 cup |
Spring onion/Green onion | 1 cup |
Garlic | 6 big cloves |
Pepper powder | 1-2 tsp |
MSG Ajinomoto | 1 tsp |
Soy sauce | 3 tsp |
Red chilli sauce | 2 tsp |
Vegetable stock | 2 cup |
Rice | 2 cup |
Salt | To taste |
Vinegar(optional) | 1 tsp |
METHOD
Cook rice using 2 cups of water and 2 cups of vegetable stock/broth.I cooked in the large pan on a very low flame for 20min covered with the lid.
When cooked the rice will measure 6 cups.
Keep the finely diced vegetables ready in a plate, along with finely minced garlic.
Now the cooking process will be done in 2 or 3 portions as per convenience.
Accordingly the vegetables and rice should be divided.By keeping the vegetables in a plate this process will be easy.I made it into 3 portions.
Heat oil in a wide pan. Add 1/3 of garlic, 1/3 of white of spring onion and fry.
Add 1/3 of ajinomoto and fry on high flame.
Reduce flame and start adding vegetables.
Add 1/3 of each vegetable in the order mentioned and stir fry.
Add a teaspoon of soy sauce,redchilli sauce,salt, and a portion of pepper powder and fry.
The vegetables need not be cooked but they should remain crisp so proceed adding 1/3 portion of cooked rice immediately.
Mix well so that the vegetables blend well.Adjust salt and pepper.Add cooked noodles and scrambled egg if you desire, at this stage.
I sprinkled few drops of vinegar in the end and mixed finally.
Garnish with green portion of spring onion and remove.
The process should be repeated for the balance rice and vegetables.
Serve hot.
