Fried rice is a versatile dish and one can add any ingredients to it, plus it’s a great way to use up overnight rice and make it into an appetizing, cheap, and flavorful meal.
i have followed precooked rice method .so i am naming this dish as asian style pulao or asian style fried rice.call it the way you want
This rice tasted exactly the way i had tasted it in mainland china .Important ingredients which are a must as per me in this recipe are star anise which imparts a mild flavour to rice,cinamom, ginger garlic,green chillies ,pepper powder ,spring onion & soya sauce & vinegar
Dont add too much of soya sauce as it will over power the rice & colour will also be brown.
use veggies like carrots ,beans,green peas,brocolli,cabbage ,capsicum as per your availability
i had served it with idli manchurian ,but it goes well even withv eg balls in hot garlic sauce
,chicken Manchurian,schezwan baby corns,chilli paneer
