Mom always makes the perfect fried rice...Indo- Chinese fried rice is the most addictive dish. My bro-in-law Rajesh is also an expert in Indo-Chinese cooking. Obviously, it tastes awesome with sizzling gobhi manchurian or some nice Chinese sauce.
This is my bro-in-law's recipe. This is more like the red Fried-rice (Schezwan variety)
Ingredients:
1 cup rice (basmati or plain)
1 cup assorted veggies ( cabbage, spring onions/green onions, capsicum/bell peppers of different colours, onions, carrots- all finely chopped or cut long and thin)
1 inch ginger piece, 1/2 garlic clove (optional), 2 green chillies- shredded or grind to a paste.
1/2 sp red chilli sauce (Chings brand) or any Chinese red sauce
1/2 sp tom-chi or masala chilli sauce
3 sp watery soy sauce or 1/2 sp thick soy sauce-the Indian variety
1/2 sp vinegar (optional)
1 sp black pepper powder
enough salt,
1/4 sp Ajino moto (Chinese salt) - optional
oil 4 tbsp
Cook rice. Make sure that the cooked rice is grainy. Add oil in a kadai. Add ginger-garlic-chilli paste. Saute well. Add the shredded veggies. Stir fry on high heat with salt. Keep the flame really high and swiftly run the spatula through your veggies. When crisp and half cooked, add the cooked rice. Top it off wit all the sauces, pepper, vinegar, salt and ajinomoto. Adjust to suit your taste. Top it with some fresh green onion/spring onion shoots. Serve piping hot with a nice Indo- Chinese side dish!
