Vegetable Fried Rice

Vegetable Fried Rice

This fried rice pairs nicely with schezwan cauliflower and was taught by the same chef. Do try to use leftover rice for this as it really helps keep the grains separate while frying. From start to end, this takes a maximum of 15 minutes including chopping vegetables.

Another one of interesting his tips on chinese cooking was that the size of vegetables for any chinese dish should match th size of the carb ! So, for fried rice, the ingredients need to be diced in small cubes and for noodles, they should be chopped into thin strips resembling the noodles.The rice should not be in the wok for more than 3 to 4 minutes max !
