Fried Rice 2


This fried rice is an Indo-chinese recipe. This recipe is also for beginners because it is fast, simple and easy to make.
You can make fried rice with left over rice. I have used basmati rice since it is more flavorful  The variation from previous recipe- "Mushroom fried rice" is in the sauce. You can use different combination of sauces in different proportions.


Ingredients

2 cups of basmati rice
1 carrot, chopped
1 Green bell pepper, chopped lengthwise
5-8 Mushrooms, diced
1 cup of scallions
5 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 Green chilies, finely chopped
¼ tsp Ajinomoto
Oil
Salt

For the sauce

4 tsp dark soya sauce
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp chili vinegar
1 tsp green chili sauce

Procedure

v  Cook 2 cups of basmati rice with 3 cups of water. And let it cool

v  In a skillet, heat oil, add garlic, green chilies, carrots, green bell pepper, mushrooms (or beans, peas). Sauté for 2 minutes in high heat setting

v  In a separate bowl prepare the sauce. Whisk soy sauce, white vinegar, chili vinegar and green chili sauce

v  Pour the sauce over vegetables and mix well

v  In low heat setting, add rice, scallions, salt and ajinomoto. Mix well for 3-5 minutes.
v  Top it off with some more scallions and chopped cilantro
