  • 3 tablespoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar

  • water as needed

Instructions

  • Soak 1 cup basmati rice in water for 15 mins.

  • Add drained rice to it.

Notes

  • Don't skip spring onions as gives a good amount of chinese flavour to the fried rice.
  • Usually they add only spring onion and skip raw but if you like you can add slived onion too. Add it after garlic is sauted.
  • 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 cooked in stove top. You can even pressure cook with 1:1.5 ratio(rice:water) for 2 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 30 mins before mixing.
  • Don't 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.
