Notes
- Rice – I soaked the basmati rice for 20 minutes then cooked in a sauce pan for exactly 8 minutes after it started boiling. Switch off and drain water. You can even pressure cook rice for 1:1.5 ratio (rice : water) for 2 whistles in low medium flame. Make sure to fluff the rice and spread it with little oil to make the grains separate if using pressure cooker method.
- Chicken - Choose breast chicken cut into small pieces so that it cooks faster and retains juiciness.
- Vegetables – Chopping the vegetables fine helps in cooking faster. Sauteing the it in high flame gives a nice smoky flavor and also retains its crunchiness without the raw smell. Don’t skip spring onions as gives a good amount of Chinese flavor to the fried rice.
- Sauces – Don’t add more soy sauce than mentioned amount else your fried rice color will be on the darker side also soy sauce will be over powerful. I have used red chili sauce but you can use green chili sauce too.
