I saw this recipe from a cookbook and have tried it once a year back but I as not pleased with the taste, guess I flopped it so was hesitant to try again.But now after trying quite a handful of fried rice recipes I was confident enough so tried this again now and this time it came out absolutely yummy that even the little one loved it.
Serve it along with gobi manchurian or baby corn manchurian.

Servings2 people
Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1/2 cup green gram sprouts
- 1/4 cup cabbage tightly packed
- 2 tsp spring onions - white part finely chopped
- 1 tbsp spring onions - green part finely chopped
- 1/2 tbsp garlic finely chopped
- 2 tbsp capsicum finely chopped lengthwise
- 1/4 tsp soya sauce optional
- 1 tsp pepper powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil / cooking oil
- salt to taste
To grind to a paste (Green Chilli Paste) :
- 2 small green chillies
- 1/4 inch ginger piece
Instructions
- Get your sprouts ready. Cook with little water till sprouts turns slightly soft, reserve cooked water, Set aside.
- Soak basmati rice for 15mins then pressure cook for 3 whistles in medium flame in the ratio 1(rice):1.5(water) cups.
- Spread it in a plate and fluff it up with a fork add a tsp of oil and let it cool down.
- Grind green chillies along with ginger to a coarse paste.
- In a pan heat oil – add garlic, green chilli paste and spring onion white part sauté for a minute till it turns golden brown.
- Then add cabbage and capsicum, fry till the veggies shrink and raw smell leaves.
- Now add pepper powder soya sauce and stir well in medium high flame.
- Add cooked sprouts along with reserved water and keep sauteing for 3mins in high flame till all the moisture is gone.
- Then add spring onions green part and mix well.
- Add required salt, then cooked rice and mix well.
- Garnish with remaining spring onions.
- Switch it off. Serve hot with your choice of side dish or any manchurian.
Notes
- I reduced all the veggies as I wanted the sprouts flavour more. But don’t skip spring onions as it gives a good amount of chinese flavour to the fried rice.
- You can add 2 tbsp onion while sauteing the veggies.
- I used little water only to cook sprouts and used the remaining water while adding sprouts.
- Use freshly ground pepper for a great flavour.
- Do not overcook sprouts, it should be crunchy enough to bite. Sauteing the veggies in high flame gives a nice smoky flavour and also retains its crunchiness without the raw smell.
- I soaked basmati rice for 15 mins then pressure cooked for 1:1.5 ratio (rice:water) for 3 whistles in medium low flame.
- I dont use ajino motto, but if you prefer you can add a pinch of it at the final stage.
- Make sure to fluff the rice and spread it with little olive oil to make the grains separate. Allow it to rest at least for 30mins.
