Indo-Chinese Vegetable Fried Rice
Indo-Chinese Vegetable Fried Rice is a flavorful and quick-to-make recipe. This is a great recipe to make with leftover rice.
Under the street food category, this Indo-Chinese Fried Rice is one recipe that I love. When I make the Gobi Manchurian, I always pair it up with this very simple recipe.
This is one recipe that I miss eating from the street food stall because they add egg to it. This could be made in a jiffy, especially if you have some leftover rice.
I make this rice very often for lunch boxes as well. It is so filling and flavorful, and my boys don't mind eating it at room temperature at all. Also, cooking the rice the night before is very helpful to make it in the morning.
I also chop all the vegetables and have them ready the night before. That way, I just have to saute all the vegetables, add the sauces, and mix the rice. It takes just under 15 minutes to make in the morning.
What Kind of Rice to Use -
This would be a lovely recipe to use up leftover white rice. Based on your preference, you could use any kind of rice you have on hand. I used Basmati rice for this recipe, but I also make it at times using brown rice.
What vegetables to use to make this Fried Rice -
I have used whatever vegetables I had in hand, but you could use any vegetable of your choice. A few of the vegetables that would work great (apart from the ones I have used) would be bell pepper, Brussels sprouts, green beans, baby corn, water chestnuts, bean sprouts, and so on. Also, adding tofu would be an excellent choice.

Fried rice are my favourite and I don't even look for any accompaniment with it. Just little extra salt and they work as a complete meal for me with curd. Your bowl of rice is spellbound.
Perfect fried rice with vegetables and gobi manchurian. I must admit I've not tasted street Chinese food. I prefer making fried rice at home as it allows one to add vegetables of one's choice and its not too oily.
The best way to use leftover rice when making Indo Chinese khana is always a good idea.
We call it fried Rice. The pics look so tempting as this goes very well with Manchurian.
I made this combo yesterday for dinner as my kids love this.
This is a great recipe to use up leftover rice. I skip vinegar and ketchup in fried rice. I should try it next.
One of the favourite way of using leftover rice or when making Indo Chinese menu. Rice pics look so inviting with Manchurian bowl behind.. tempting me to make it soon for my kids as it is their favourite combo too.

Nice recipe! Would surely try it.What options for gravy to go along this do you suggest? Any recipe I can look into?
Gayatri, thanks a lot! I usually make Gobi Manchurian to go along with it or some sweet and sour stir fry.
This is one of our family favorite dishes. Great way to use up leftover rice and even my picky 12 year old will eat the veggies in this one. Great share!!
Thanks Pavani!
I'm so boring with my rice. I tend to just boil it and let the flavour of whatever dish I'm making take the lead. But your recipe looks so delicious, I feel like next time I cook rice, I need to make more of an effort.
This is not that hard Choclette and you will love the recipe. Give it a try.
With new pics , looks all the more tempting ! They have always pleased me and with the manchurian combo they will be a total hit .
The new pictures look definitely vibrant. I also make this combo of manchurian and fried rice and the kids don't complain a bit 🙂
The new pictures look awesome Sandhya, we love this combination as well!
