Vegetable fried rice cooked in Chinese style is quick and easy to make. Seasonal veggies like carrot, capsicum etc are cut in lengthwise slices called Julienne in culinary term. These veggies are quickly tossed in a wok and steamed rice is added. A little touch of soya sauce, black peper and salt. That’s it. The chinese fried rice is ready! Nothing gets simpler than this.

Fried rice is basically staple food of American Chinese cuisine. But now available as well as popular all over world and specially in Asia you can have variety of fried rice. Chinese food is quite famous in India and has a different Indian touch to it. In most of the cities you will find a street side vendor cooking Chinese dishes on a big hot wok tossing all kinds of sauces and adding boiled rice or noodles as required.

Here again I represented a simple but tastes awesome fried rice in a hygienic way i.e. without Ajinomoto and sauces having preservatives. Actually when we cook for family then of course we can not avoid health factors so I made this rice in a healthy way. Rice is a full meal in itself and Chinese fried rice is having  full veggies so its a complete meal. But if you like you can have gravy manchurian or manchaw soup with it.

Ideally, the rice you use to make fried rice will have been cooked at least one day previously. Day-old rice is dryer, and reduces the chances of the dish turning out wet and mushy.
