WHY thin chopping for veg fried rice
Thinly chopped veggies cook faster and give an amazing texture to the fried rice so I would recommend that. Cabbage & capsicum - thin strips Carrots - thin julienne garlic - fine chopping
Tips to note - vegetables
Moisture in the washed vegetables might make rice mushy so always dry the washed vegetables well then thin chop for Veg Indo Chinese fried rice. Avoid fine chopping.
Leftover rice
Leftover refrigerated rice works best for fried rice. Adding sesame oil gives extra fluffiness and taste to the rice.
Can I use basmati rice?
Yes, you can use basmati rice, brown rice, or any variety of rice according to your choice.
Best hotel-style vegetable fried rice
The key to tasty restaurant-style fried rice is fluffy rice. I prefer cold, loosely packed rice from the fridge as it gives perfect fried rice. Always cook fried on medium-high flame.
Can I use hot rice for vegetable indo-Chinese rice?
No never use hot rice for veg rice. If you don’t have time to cool the rice transfer the rice to a plate and drizzle sesame oil. Bring the rice to room temperature then prepare vegan fried rice
Can I use butter instead of oil?
If you like butter flavor you can use butter instead of oil. Sesame oil gives amazing flavor to the rice so I would recommend that.

Yes, you can use black or white pepper powder. Adjust the pepper powder according to your spice.
