Chinese Fried Rice

Recipe contributed by : Surekha Mahajan

Fried Rice is the easiest dish to make as you can throw in any vegetables and few sauces and you are good to go, and you can make it from left over rice too. Easy to make still as delicious. You can pair the rice with Vegetable Manchurian or any other Chinese gravy dish, or soups such as Veg corn soup, hot and sour soup.

This recipe is contributed by a great cook, my cooking guru and my neighbor Surekhaji. She is a fantastic cook. A few days ago, we had Chinese meal at her house and she made fried rice, hot and sour soup and Thai spring rolls, and I made Vegetable Manchurian. I will post Hot and Sour soup and Spring Rolls recipes soon.
