I would like to share many indo Chinese recipes as I keep updating my blog with recipes.
This recipe does not require any special rice like basmati…Making use of plain ordinary rice is more than enough to get the perfect taste.
In fast food centres, this recipe uses parboiled rice where rice is processed in a different way. Since we wish to make it at home we can make use of ordinary rice.
However, if one wishes to use basmati rice, then soak the rice for half an hour and cook it perfectly with grains appearing loose and separated.
The rice here is made with some beaten eggs, veggies, boneless chicken strips, sauces and spices. Using them, frying and sauteing rice gives us delicious Chinese fried rice.
Add any vegetables that are preferred and it tastes much better with a mix of eggs and veggies than just plain chicken. Other rice or fried rice recipes to check out are veg fried rice, egg fried rice, veg biryani in the cooker, hibachi fried rice and can be served with chicken jalfrezi, murgh makhani etc…
This can also be called Chinese fried rice as we cook it in Chinese style by using different sauces like soya sauce, red chilli sauce and vinegar.
The chicken is cooked separately and added to the fried rice. The chicken strips should be marinated in spices and cooked until they turn tender.
Below I have shared a video recipe along with the written procedure to make the fried rice.
