    WHY thin chopping for veg fried rice

    Thinly chopped veggies cook faster and give an amazing texture to the fried rice so I would recommend that. 

    Cabbage & capsicum - thin strips

    Carrots - thin julienne 

    garlic - fine chopping

    Tips to note - vegetables 

    Moisture in the washed vegetables might make rice mushy so always dry the washed vegetables well then thin chop for Veg Indo Chinese fried rice. Avoid fine chopping. 

    Leftover rice

    Leftover refrigerated rice works best for fried rice. Adding sesame oil gives extra fluffiness and taste to the rice. 

    Can I use basmati rice?

    Yes, you can use basmati rice, brown rice, or any variety of rice according to your choice. 

    Best hotel-style vegetable fried rice

    The key to tasty restaurant-style fried rice is fluffy rice. I prefer cold, loosely packed rice from the fridge as it gives perfect fried rice. Always cook fried on medium-high flame. 

    Can I use hot rice for vegetable indo-Chinese rice?

    No never use hot rice for veg rice. If you don't have time to cool the rice transfer the rice to a plate and drizzle sesame oil. Bring the rice to room temperature then prepare vegan fried rice

    Can I use butter instead of oil?

    If you like butter flavor you can use butter instead of oil. Sesame oil gives amazing flavor to the rice so I would recommend that.

    Can I use black pepper powder?

    Yes, you can use black or white pepper powder. Adjust the pepper powder according to your spice.
