Ingredients
  • Cooked cold rice - 4-5 cups
  • Garlic - 10 to 12 cloves
  • Ginger - 1-inch piece
  • Fresh chilli (red or green) - 3 to 4 (adjust as per your taste)
  • Spring onion - 5 stalks, large
  • Carrot - 2, large
  • French beans - 12 to 15
  • Light soy sauce - 2 tbsp
  • Oil - 4 tbsp
  • Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Chop carrot and beans into small pieces. Finely chop the garlic cloves, ginger and also the fresh chillies.
  2. Separate the whites and greens of spring onions; then finely chop the whites and green separately.
  3. Now heat a wok keeping the flame on high. Once the wok is super hot, reduce the flame to medium and add oil.
  4. Swirl the wok to coat the surface nicely. Then add the chopped garlic to the wok and stir fry them for a few minutes on low heat ensuring they do not burn.
  5. Next add the chopped ginger & chillies and spring onion whites. Continue stir frying them on medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes or until they slightly change their color.
  6. Now it’s time to add the veggies - throw in the carrots & beans and sprinkle little salt to expedite softening the veggies.
  7. Stir fry the veggies on medium flame for 6 to 8 minutes. Then sprinkle a handful of water over the vegetables and cover the wok, reducing the flame to low.
  8. Lift the lid after about 5 minutes; the water should have been absorbed by now and the veggies should have turned soft; if not, continue to steam them with the lid on for another two minutes.
  9. Once the veggies are nicely cooked, it’s time to add the rice! Make sure you are using cold rice that has been refrigerated overnight.
  10. Spread the rice over the veggies evenly and leave it undisturbed for about a couple of minutes keeping the flame medium-low. This will ensure that the bottom layer of the rice crisps up once it comes in contact with hot wok.
  11. After about 2 minutes, drizzle the soy sauce, if using or the salt and black pepper powder.
  12. Now using a spatula, start stirring the rice and continue mixing the rice with veggies while stir frying everything on medium flame.
  13. You should stir fry the veg fried rice for at least 10 minutes so that the rice gets enough time to soak up all the flavors and also become fluffy, hot & smoky.
  14. Taste the rice for seasoning and adjust if needed either by adding a little more salt or a dash of soy sauce.
  15. Finally sprinkle the spring onion greens over the veg fried rice and give it a good mix for even distribution.
  16. Your restaurant style veg fried rice is ready! Switch off the flame and transfer it to a serving bowl, garnish with more spring onion greens and enjoy!
