Chinese Egg Fried Rice

Chinese Egg Fried Rice

Ingredients:

• 250 gms basmati rice or any good quality rice or 5-6 cups cooked rice
• 1/2 cup oil
• 10 beans finely chopped
• 2 medium carrots finely chopped
• 3-4 spring onions finely chopped
• 1 table spoon finely chopped cabbage
• 1 capsicum finely chopped
• salt to taste
• 1/2 tea spoon pepper
• 1 tea spoon ajinomoto (optional) (I have not used)
• 1/2 table spoon soya sauce

Method:

First wash and soak rice for 1/2 hour. Boil it with salt, 1 tea spoon oil and water till rice is more than half cooked. Drain water and spread the rice on a plate and let it cool completely or alternatively cook the rice in a rice cooker. The rice should be cooked a bit grainy.

Heat oil in a wok, add salt and pepper. Add beans, carrots, spring onions and cabbage. Saute on a high flame for 1 or 2 minutes.

Add the cooked and cooled rice. Mix it properly. Add soya sauce, ajinomoto and salt if required. Fry for 2-3 minutes on high flame.

Now add spring onion greens. Mix properly and turn off the heat.

Serve hot with any Chinese gravy dishes.
