Who doesn't like Indo-Chinese fusion food ?Gobi Manchurian , Noodles and Fried rice are most popular and oldest street foods from indo-chinese,that is loved by all even today. Then going for authentic chinese fried rice , which most of us find it too bland ,this Indo - Chinese fried rice is always a winner among Indians , as it is adapted to suit our Indian Palate.
The main ingredient in any Chinese food is ajinomoto / MSG / Tasting powder ,these are the different names given to mono sodium glutamate , which is used as flavour enhancer but it is said to have very harmful effects on the body. So lets avoid it completely . I always aim to cook food as healthy as possible without compromising in taste , this Veg fried rice recipe is one such healthy plate with well balanced flavours and loaded with veggies.

How to make vegetable fried rice
Wash and rinse Basmati rice / Jeera rice with water, 2-3 times, till the water runs clear.
Soak rice for 15 minutes, drain and cook rice with 2 cups of water, ½ teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of oil.
Make sure rice is cooked perfectly with each grain separated. I cooked using Rice Cooker.
Whilst , chop all the vegetables and keep it ready.
Heat 2 tablespoon sesame oil / olive oil in a Wok or pan.Add chopped garlic, grated ginger and green chilli paste, fry well.
Add white part of spring onion and fry on high heat, till the raw smell goes off.
Keep the flame/ heat on high and add chopped carrot and chopped beans fry for 3-4 minutes.
Add capsicum and shredded cabbage, cook on high heat for 3-4 minutes. Make sure not to overcook veggies, if done it becomes soft. Veggies in fried rice should always be crunchy.
Now add cooked rice and mix well,take care not to break rice grain.
Add white vinegar, soya sauce, salt ,pepper powder ,mix well.
Fry well on a high heat for 2-3 minutes ,turn off heat, add chopped spring onions.
