Vegetable Fried Rice

வெஜிடபிள் பிரைட் ரைஸ் (Vegetable Fried Rice)

Vegetable fried rice is a dish of cooked rice that has been stir fried in a wok or a frying pan that usually mixed with ingredients such as half cooked veggies, soy sauce and white pepper powder. Fried rice is originated from China and there are many variations in the recipe. In childhood days this Indian style vegetable fried rice is one of my favorite. It takes very less time to cook this recipe.

Notes

Don’t over cook veggies and rice.
Using enough oil is an important thing in this recipe.
I’m using dark soy sauce for this recipe, you may use light soy sauce too.
Light soy sauce and white pepper powder gives white color to the fried rice.
Don’t add more veggies to this recipe.
