This
is a dish loved by all. From kids to elderly people, fried rice is
something no one can ignore. However, the fried rice we make at home never seems
to live up to the expectations compared to those restaurant quality dishes, do they? In this recipe I have used few easy tricks to get that exact restaurant quality fried rice you are looking for. An added bonus is that it is extremely easy to cook and uses really simple and readily-available ingredients. I served the fried rice with Sautéed Oyster Mushrooms. You can use any Chinese or Korean side dish of your preference.

How
to make Vegetable Fried Rice:
Step1: Keep all the vegetables
soaked in water for 30 minutes.
Step 2: Now, dice the beans into
short thin stripes. Dice the carrot into moderately thin stripes. Shred the
capsicum into small pieces.
Step 3: Chop the garlic cloves.
Step 4: Heat a frying

Tips for Vegetable Fried Rice Recipe:
1. Many use star anise to fragrant the rice however it
is not an easily available ingredient. As an alternative to star anise, I used a
combination of cinnamon sticks, whole cloves and cardamom. It worked perfectly
for me. If you wish you can still use star anise in the dish. Heat the oil and
put 1 star anise for 30 seconds or until the oil is fragrant.
2. After
the oil has become fragrant, you may keep the cardamoms (elaichi) but the whole
cloves (lobongo) and cinnamon sticks must be taken out.
