Instructions

Making Vinegar Mix

  • Add all the ingredients together, as mentioned under the Vinegar Mix. Stir well and set aside.

Making the Fried Rice

  • Make sure that all the vegetables are cut in the similar size and shape. This is very important step in making the fried rice, for even cooking and good texture of the dish. Keep the size of the pea as the base of the size for others.
  • Heat oil in the pan in a wok or heavy bottom hard anodized pan or kadhai. Add onions, ginger and garlic to the pan.Toss for 1-2 minutes till onions soften a bit.
  • Add the mixed vegetables all together in the pan and keep the heat high. Toss and saute on high heat for about 4-5 minutes. We want the vegetables cooked, still crunchy. Do not overcook the vegetables.
  • Add soy sauce, vinegar, chilli sauce, salt and pepper to the pan. Mix.
  • Separate the cold rice with your hands or fork. Add this rice to the pan with mixed vegetables. Toss, fold gently and cook on high flame for another 2 minutes till the rice is well heated through.
  • The Vegetarian Fried Rice is ready to be served.

Serving Suggestion

  • Serve the fried rice hot with vinegar mix and peanut mix on the side.
