Recipe for Chinese Veggie Fried rice
In fact, this veg fried rice has been popular in China for quite a long time, sometimes we call this as five color fried rice. Usually five seasonal vegetables or even more are added for flavor and nutrition. I use mushrooms, bok choy, carrot, corns and purple cabbage. The following vegetables are also suggested: green peas, celery and cabbage.
Here are some tips for perfect veg fried rice;
The rice I am using in this recipe is leftover rice (refrigerated overnight) but not especially made for fried rice. If you plan to make fried rice, it is really important to avoid overcooking and too much water. Before frying, separate the rice.
Besides, I suggest cooking some of the ingredients like carrot cubes and purple cabbage in boiling water for around 1 minute, which can make sure they can be well cooked.
