Indo Chinese Vegetable Fried Rice is a flavorful and quick to make recipe. A great recipe to make with leftover rice.
Under the street food category, this Indo Chinese Vegetable 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 left over 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 it ready the night before. That way I just have to saute all the vegetables and add the sauces and mix the rice. Take 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 rice. Based on your preference you could use any kind of rice you have in hand. I used the 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 I hand, but you could use any vegetable of your choice. 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 one. 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.
Mayuri Patel says
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.

Choclette says
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.
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
This is not that hard Choclette and you will love the recipe. Give it a try.
