Notes

Vegetables

  1. 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
  2. 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

Rice

  1. Leftover refrigerated rice works best for fried rice. Adding sesame oil gives extra fluffiness and taste to the rice
  2. You can use basmati rice, brown rice, or any variety of rice according to your choice
  3. 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 rice on medium-high flame
  4. 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

Cooking tips

  1. 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
  2. You can use black or white pepper powder. Adjust the pepper powder according to your spice
