Fried rice is a signature dish of the Chinese. It is mainly a non vegetarian dish, but today this version is also popular. The mild pungent taste blended well with the vegetables making it a favourite amongst many of us.
It is a delicious dish which can be served by itself, filled with robust flavour. It is easy to prepare and gets ready in 30 minutes. It is ideal to serve for lunch, brunch or dinner.
A well cooked, non-sticky rice adorned with colourful veggies and enhanced with sauce makes it a delicious meal. It needs no accompaniment but Manchurian or gravy based dishes are usually served with it.

Take a tip:
- Ajinomoto (MSG) is usually added to it. I have not added here. I used to add it earlier, but now I have stopped it.
- Spring onion may be used. One can use sweet corn kernels too.
- Adding of vinegar is optional but it does lend a good taste to it.
- Make sure the rice is well cooked and grains are separate.
