I stimulate got ever enjoyed Chinese cuisine. Who doesn't similar Chilli Chicken, Chicken Manchurian, Hot as well as Sour Chicken and the ubiquitous Chinese fried rice ?Who doesn't want that they could simulate the eating seat mode dishes at dwelling solid with the same taste?? I stimulate got tried as well as succeeded too! For this I stimulate got to give thank you lot Ashita didi who introduced me to the basics of authentic Chinese cooking. The play tricks is to fix inwards an authentic Fe wok on high flame.Not the wok that you lot larn inwards Ikea.

Also the vegetables should live crisp as well as non overcooked. If you lot stimulate got all the ingredients fix as well as inwards front end of you, cooking Chinese mode is pretty quick & easy. Now I tin stimulate got eating seat mode fried rice as well as noodles at dwelling solid whatsoever fourth dimension of the twenty-four lx minutes menstruum or night. For us,my fried rice is filled alongside crisp colorful vegetables as well as is a one-pot dish that tin live eaten past times itself. This is how I brand my fried rice:

Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

Leftover cooked rice: 4 cups
Onion: 1 medium, sliced lengthwise
Garlic: 4-6cloves, chopped fine( I similar extra garlic)
Ginger: 1 inch, chopped fine.
Green chillies: 2-3( depending on the spice level), chopped fine.
Carrot: 1 medium, peeled as well as cutting julienne.
Green beans: 10, cutting diagonally into 1 inch length.
Cabbage: 1/2 cup, sliced lengthwise.
Green bell pepper: 1/4,chopped julienne
Red bell pepper: 1/4, chopped julienne
Spring onion: 2, chopped fine.
Soy sauce: 4 tbsp
Vinegar: 1 tbsp
Cooking oil: 2-3 tbsp( I job olive oil)
Black pepper powder: 1/4 tsp
Sugar:1/2 tsp
Salt: to taste

Method:

Mix soy sauce and a piddling tabular array salt alongside the mutual depression temperature rice as well as function on aside.

Heat stone oil inwards a wok on high flame. Now add together the garlic,sauté for few seconds, add together the chopped ginger, sauté for few seconds, add together the light-green chillies as well as the onions inwards as well as sauté until the onion starts to plough transparent. Add the vegetables 1 after the other, sautéing for a infinitesimal inwards between, depending on the fourth dimension it requires to cook, start alongside the 1 that takes the most time. In my case, I threw inwards the light-green beans first, as well as hence the carrots , cabbage, as well as lastly the peppers. Add inwards the saccharide as well as dark pepper as well as mix well.

Add the rice inwards as well as toss until it is nicely mixed as well as warm. Add the vinegar as well as toss again. Garnish alongside finely chopped jump onions.

Cooking made easy:

Fried rice is a perfect agency to larn rid of leftover rice. In fact, if made alongside freshly made rice it turns mushy.:)

Any combination of vegetables listed higher upward tin live used depending on what you lot stimulate got available inwards your refrigerator as well as pantry. You could skip bell peppers if you lot don't similar them. You could add together equally much or equally piddling equally you lot want as well as the fried rice volition come upward out good.

You could plough it into egg fried rice past times frying an egg at the beginning, scrambling it as well as and hence adding the other ingredients.

If you lot want to add together chicken as well as become far chicken fried rice, add together seize alongside teeth size chicken pieces after the onions as well as sauté until the chicken is cooked. You tin as well as hence add together the other vegetables ( lesser quantities) or skip it all together.

I tend to fry egg/ chicken separately as well as function on it separately as well as job it equally a topping at the tabular array equally per private personal preference.

You tin also add together less soy sauce, light-green chillies( if at that spot are piddling kids eating)if need live equally these condiments tin live added later on at the tabular array 1 time again equally per private preference.

Tip for salubrious living:

Use vegetables to mass upward your meals. Veggies when chopped fine or cutting pocket-size as well as mixed inwards one-pot dishes similar fried rice concur to a greater extent than appeal as well as flavour for both children as well as adults than when served separately. Even when you lot brand chicken or egg fried rice, endeavour to ensure that you lot throw inwards at to the lowest degree 2-3 kinds of vegetables equally good inwards there. This non solely makes it await pretty as well as adds book to your dish; it makes it balanced, nutritious, giving you lot at to the lowest degree 2-3 servings of your daily vegetable requirement.
