Fried Rice is one dish I have been making even before I started blogging and now I can confidently say, it comes out well every time and its quite easy too. Hubby is fond of fried rice and that’s the reason I started making fried rice at home. Each time I learnt from my mistakes and after few plus and minuses I got the knack of making the perfect fried rice as in restaurants. Now lets get on to learn how to make egg fried rice, shall we?
Gobi Manchurian or Baby Corn Manchurian is the best side dish for fried rice.

Egg Fried Rice Recipe – Ingredients
Preparation Time : 20 mins | Cooking Time : 20 mins | Serves : 2
Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: Chinese
Recipe Category: Main | Recipe Cuisine: Chinese
Basmati rice – 1 cup
Egg – 1
Carrot – 2 small finely chopped
Beans – 2 finely chopped
Cabbage – 1/4 cup
Onion – 1/8 cup
Spring onions (white part) – 1.5 tbsp finely chopped
Spring onions (green part) – 1 tbsp finely chopped
Garlic – 1/2 tbsp finely chopped
Capsicum – 2 tbsp chopped finely
Soya sauce – 1/2 tsp
Green Chilli Sauce – 3/4 tsp
Ajino motto – 1/4 tsp (optional) – I didnt use
Pepper powder – 1.5 tsp
Olive Oil – 2.5 tbsp
Salt – to taste
Method 1:
- Rinse rice and pressure cook it with required water till rice grain is separated…Fluff it off with a fork add some olive oil, keep aside.Chop and keep all the veggies ready.Heat olive oil in a pan, add garlic and spring onions white part,fry till its starts browning.
- Then add onions and fry till golden brown then add carrots, beans and cabbage and saute till they shrink and raw smell leaves. Add capsicum saute with the veggies for 2mins.
- Then add soya sauce – and saute in high flame for 2mins stirring continuously. Keep in sim and then add green chilli sauce, pepper powder,ajino motto(if you are using)and required salt.Keep stirring continuously for few mins till the veggies are well blended with the sauces.
- Then add the cooked rice and mix well.Garnish with spring onions.
- Scramble the eggs with a tsp of oil and add it to fried rice along with spring onions and give a quick stir until well combined. Switch it off.
Method 2:
- After the sauces, pepper powder is added and sauteing the veggies, add the eggs and scramble it well.Then add cooked rice and mix well.
Have given both the methods, both tastes good in its own way, so choose whichever you like 🙂
Method 1 vs Method 2
Serve hot with your choice of side dish or any manchurian.
My Notes:
- You can even crack the eggs and add it along with veggies but it tends to stick…so I prefer this method.You can choose between the two as per your preference.
- Don’t skip spring onions as gives a good amount of chinese flavour to the fried rice.
- Chopping the veggies very fine helps in cooking faster. Sauteing the veggies in high flame gives a nice smoky flavour and also retains its crunchiness without the raw smell.
- I soaked the basmati rice for 15 mins then pressure cooked for 1:1.5 ratio(rice:water) for 4 whistles in medium low flame.
- Make sure to fluff the rice and spread it with little olive oil to make the grains separate.Allow it to rest atleast for 30mins.
- Dont add more soya sauce than mentioned amount else your fried rice color will be on the darker side also soya sauce will be over powerful.

November 20, 2018 at 2:01 pmHi, thank you for this fried rice recipe. I made the egg and eggless version. My kids lived them. I have made it so many times now that I know it by heart. After two cooking I started using my own approximate measurements. Waiting for other lively recipes.
