You can easily make delicious fried rice without using fried rice masala. Here's a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
- Cooked rice (preferably day-old): 2-3 cups
- Vegetable oil: 2-3 tablespoons
- Eggs: 1-2 (optional)
- Garlic: 2-3 cloves, minced
- Onion: 1 small, chopped
- Carrot: 1/2 cup, diced
- Green beans: 1/2 cup, chopped
- Peas: 1/2 cup (fresh or frozen)
- Soy sauce: 2-3 tablespoons (or to taste)
- Sesame oil: 1 teaspoon (optional)
- Green onions: 2-3, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper: to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Rice: Make sure your rice is cooked and cooled. Day-old rice works best as it's drier and less likely to clump.
- Scramble the Eggs (optional): If using eggs, lightly beat them with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a little oil in a pan and scramble the eggs until cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
- Add Vegetables: Add the diced carrots and chopped green beans. Stir-fry for a few minutes until they start to soften. Add the peas and continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate Rice: Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the cooked rice to the other side. Break up the rice with a spatula and mix it with the vegetables.
- Season and Stir-fry: Add the soy sauce and sesame oil (if using) to the rice and vegetables. Stir-fry everything together until well combined and heated through.
- Add Eggs (if using): Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and mix them with the rice and vegetables.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions. Serve hot.
Tips for extra flavor:
- Add protein like cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
- Use a mix of vegetables like bell peppers, corn, or broccoli.
- Add a dash of oyster sauce for a richer flavor.
- A small amount of sugar can enhance the flavor.
- For heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha.
