INDO CHINESE FRIED RICE

WelCome To Indiancooking Time

Indo Chinese Fried Rice or Vegetable Fried Rice is a quick and easy to make, flavorful rice recipe prepared using vegetables of your choice in less than 30 minutes. This is vegan and gluten free. If you have left over rice, this recipe can be prepared in less than 10 minutes.

Indo Chinese is one of my favorite cuisine and whenever we visit India, we make sure that we order Indo-Chinese delicacies atleast once or twice during our stay. One item that is always fixed as the main dish is this vegetable fried rice along with other starters like spring rolls, honey chili potatoes, gobi chilli.

I prefer using jasmine rice to prepare rice recipes as I love the aroma of this rice. You can even use basmati rice, or other long grain rice of your choice. To avoid breaking of the rice, do not over cook the rice and also allow it to cool down completely before you mix it with vegetables and sauce.

I prepare this rice often with different vegetables available in my pantry.  You can also add baby corn, paneer / tofu. Non-vegetarians can also add any meat of their choice or even shrimp to this recipe. The two main two ingredients that you should not miss while preparing Indo-Chinese rice recipe are green/spring onions and soy sauce. Addition of celery add wonderful aroma and crunch.

Whenever I have left over rice, I end up preparing this rice dish. You really don’t need any measurements. Vary the ingredients as per your taste. This is a no fuss recipe. My family even loves to take this as a lunch-box dish. You can serve this rice alone or with sides such as  honey chili potatoes, gobi chilli, or something as simple as tomato ketchup and chili vinegar.
