Ingredients
Rice & Grains
- 1 cup Basmati Rice
- 3 cup Rice cooked
Vegetables
- 1/4 cup Scallions minced, white and green parts separated
- 3 sprigs Spring Onions
- 1/4 cup Bell Peppers finely diced, red
- 1/2 cup Peas green
- 1 Carrot medium, chopped
- 10-12 Beans baby beans, green, trimmed
- 5 Baby Corn
Instructions
- Cook the basmati rice according to package directions with 1 1/2 cups of water. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains and set aside.
- Finely dice all the vegetables. This ensures they cook quickly and evenly.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced vegetables and sugar. Sauté for about 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly tender but still retain a bit of crunch.
- Add the white pepper and spring onions to the pan. Sauté for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the cooked rice to the pan and stir well to combine with the vegetables. Continue to cook for a few minutes, or until the rice is heated through.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra flavor, sauté the vegetables with a pinch of garam masala and a splash of soy sauce before adding the rice.
- If you prefer a spicier fried rice, add finely chopped green chilies or red chili flakes while stir-frying the vegetables.
- Ensure the rice is thoroughly cooled and slightly dry before stir-frying to prevent it from becoming mushy. Spreading freshly cooked rice on a tray and refrigerating for 30 minutes can help.
- For added protein, include diced paneer or crumbled tofu during the final minutes of cooking.
Expert Tips
- Use day-old rice for the best results, as it's drier and less likely to clump.
- Get your wok or pan very hot before adding the ingredients to ensure a good sear.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when stir-frying. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover fried rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat thoroughly in a pan or microwave before serving.
