About Sprouts Rice
Sprouts Rice or Sprouts Fried Rice is an incredibly delicious way to include sprouts in your diet. Sprouts Rice is healthy, tasty and filling that it is perfect to even pack for lunch box for school going kids and office goers.
I have made Sprouts Rice just like fried rice so tastes so good. Itis very mild without many sauces and still it tastes absolutely delicious. It is a complete meal by itself so does not need any side dish. However you can serve it along with gobi manchurian or baby corn manchurian.

Sprouts Rice Ingredients
- Rice – You can use long grained basmati rice, regular basmati rice or even jasmine rice. I prefer basmati rice the best for fried rice.
- Vegetables – I have used sprouts and cabbage.
- Sauces – Soya sauce is the main sauce used here.
- Spring onion– Spring onions is a must for all fried rice recipes so do not skip it.
- Green chili ginger paste – I have used freshly grind green chili ginger paste.
- Flavorings – Garlic and pepper powder adds more flavor to this dish.

Expert Tips
- I added just cabbage with sprouts and skipped other vegetables as I wanted the sprouts flavor more. But don’t skip spring onions as it gives a good amount of Chinese flavor to the fried rice.
- You can add 2 tablespoon 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.
- Don’t over cook 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 minutes then pressure cooked for 1:1.5 ratio(rice:water) for 2 whistles in medium 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 30 minutes.
