My style - Fried Rice

Winter waves have already begun in all parts of the country.
Eat hot spicy food to overcome the winter blues. And I’m right here with my own way using the left over rice.

Rice mixed with numerous colorful vegetables and flavored with the spices, is a great amalgamation to enrich the multiple flavors and is an energy booster. Adding lots of vegetables to add fibre and to stay satisfied with healthier food.

You might just like to add the butter over the hot rice oozing out making it even yummier!
It's indeed a perfect in winter’s recipe!

So don’t be bored or suffer from the grey clouds or the lack of light in this winter, pick your own basket of favorite flavors of the vegetables, give a burst of energy and zing on your own to cook this very easy recipe.

Enjoy! This fried rice is delightfully delicious, will warm you up in winters.

My style fried rice

  • The soya sauce is alternative for Worchester and oyster sauce. However, its really fun to have different sauces at home to add and create a change in flavors. Trust me oyster sauce is fabulous!
  • You can add shredded cabbage also, simply any vegetable, even paneer chunks or omelet pieces. Enrich your dish with more nutritious.
  • Cooked rice could be your let-over rice…So what are you waiting for, make the best use of them to relish your tastes.
  • Add the ajinomoto salt to enhance the flavors.

  • Keeping the half cooked vegetables only enrich the nutrient of the food.

    Fried Rice and Biryani are quite similar yet different.

    Similarity is same ingredients and cooked rice.

    However, in simple term fried rice has to be fried in oil all together with most of the ingredients stirring and biryani has par-boil rice, steamed and cooked with other already fried ingredients, without stiring.

    For more you can go through my post on biryani, http://rachanashakyawar.blogspot.com/2009/06/biryani-perfect-one-dish-meal.html

    I'm sure your my post shall serve your purpose, clearing any doubts.

  14. a total shift from route topics...
    i love fried rice and biryani...
    you can add panneer and make a tasty panneer fried rice...
    just chop panneer into piece and fry them and add them with fried rice...you can also try this...

    PS: though ajinomoto adds taste it not advisable to use them often which can hinder the health.
