Fried Rice - easy and quick recipe

I love fried rice. There are days when I feel like eating it but then feel lazy to cook it as it takes quite sometime to get done. I wanted a recipe that would help me get it done faster on such days so one day I surfed thru the the net to see if I can get something quick to make and also delicious. I came across this instant recipe which was easy and quick that too in Chinese person. After all fried rice is their specialty and it will be good when you learn to do it from them. Just a fraction of 10 to 15 mins and fried rice is ready. I tried it out and it was equally good.

Check out the recipe if you want to cook something quick on your hectic day or when ur feeling lazy or not in mood to cook for too long.

Ingredients:
  • Cooked Basmati Rice - 200gms
  • Eggs - 2 to 3
  • spring onions - 1 stalk
  • oil
  • salt
  • pepper powder as per taste
  • soya sauce - 1 tbsp
Preparation:
  1. Use the left over rice of previous day or prepare rice on the previous day and refrigerate it. You can cook rice the same day also but it needs to cool well before use. Refrigerated  cold rice is good for this preparation.
  2. In a wok add oil and add the eggs to it. Scramble to eggs and remove and set aside.
  3. In the same wok add little oil and add the cooked rice. Fry for sometime. 
  4. Add chopped spring onion, egg scramble and mix well. Add salt, pepper powder and soya sauce. 
  5. Toss well and serve.
Additions from my side: If you have prawns in the fridge then just fry them in the same wok after scrambling the egg and set aside. Mix it to the rice. Or if you still want a twist you can apply some turmeric powder and salt to it and shallow fry. Add it to the fried rice. This will enhance the taste of the dish even more.

Imp. tip: Always add the soya sauce along the sides of the pan and not directly to the rice.
