Egg fried rice recipe| Indo chinese rice with eggs

Last wednesday it rained in hyderabad .I had planned a chinese menu sweet corn soup,egg fried rice & chili paneer for dinner.Fried rice is my husbands favourite.

Egg Fried Rice is fully packed with vegetables and add-on option Egg's Protein in it. Certainly this is my choice of one pot meal.

I like my Fried Rice along with manchurian's or hot & sour soup.
Spring Onions are must in Fried Rice for me, the flavour and the taste of spring onions really uplifts the Fried Rice. Leftover refrigerated rice is best to prepare fried rice.




Ingredients:

Rice - 2 cups (cooked and cooled) (Check tips  for precooked rice recipe)
Egg's - 2
Carrot - 1 (finely chopped)
Capsicum-1 chopped finely
Spring Onions - 3 (finely chopped) -- Green Leaves and White Onions chopped Finely
Garlic - 8-12 (finely chopped)
Beans -1/2 cup
Green chilli - 4-5 finely chopped
Moong sprouts- 1/2 cup
Ginger (1 inch)- finely chopped
Pepper - 1 tbsp
Vinegar / lime juice - 1 tsp
Soy Sauce - 1/2 tsp
Ajino motto - 1/2 tsp (optional)
Salt - as required
Oil - 1 tbsp




Method:
1.In a Yok or  Pan, add a tbsp of oil and heat it.Break the eggs and mix well ,add salt . Pour the egg mixture in pan & Allow the eggs to cook like a normal omlette.When the eggs are done scramble them into longitudinal pieces.(pieces should not be too small)
2.In a Wok or Pan, add a tbsp of oil and heat it, add the finely chopped garlic ,chilli & ginger and saute it on high flame for 15-20 seconds.
3.Add the Spring onion's - white onion and saute along. Now add all the vegetables, beans, moong sprouts,Carrot, Capsicum and saute them for 15-30sec on high flame.
4.Add Salt, Pepper and fry along the vegetables.
5.Add egg pieces prepared in step 1.
6.Add Soy Sauce, Vinegar and stir along. Now remove from the flame and add  pre-cooked rice (Check tips  for precooked rice) to the vegetables in the pan and mix the rice well along with vegetables. Take care not to break the Rice while mixing. Add a pinch of ajino moto and mix well.
7.Again place the pan on gas & cook for 1-2 minutes.Switch off the gas.
8.Now Garnish with Spring Onion's Green Part and serve Hot.

Tips:

   1 . Add one & half cup of water to 1 cup rice so as to prepare fine rice.
   2. Chinese dishes are prepared on a high flame.
   3.  Vegetables have to be sauted fast taking care not to overcook.
   4.  Just freshly cooked rice is hot, steamy, very moist and a little sticky. All of those things would make a very clumpy and soggy fried rice. Thats why day-old rice makes the best fried rice (storing in the refrigerator dries out the rice).
 5. My fried rice is flaky, light – which allows the individual flavors of the ingredients to really shine through. I almost always use BASMATI Rice for fried rice. 
6. You can even add beaten eggs after sauteing the vegetables (after step 3) & Allow the eggs to cook like a normal omlette.When the eggs are done scramble themo int longitudinal pieces.
