Expert Tips

• I added just cabbage with sprouts and skipped other vegetables as I wanted the sprouts flavor more. But don’t skip spring onions as it gives a good amount of Chinese flavor to the fried rice.
• You can add 2 tablespoon onion while sauteing the veggies.
• I used little water only to cook sprouts and used the remaining water while adding sprouts.
• Use freshly ground pepper for a great flavour.
• Don’t over cook sprouts, it should be crunchy enough to bite.
• Sauteing the veggies in high flame gives a nice smoky flavour and also retains its crunchiness without the raw smell.
• I soaked basmati rice for 15 minutes then pressure cooked for 1:1.5 ratio(rice:water) for 2 whistles in medium flame.
• I dont use ajino motto, but if you prefer you can add a pinch of it at the final stage.
• Make sure to fluff the rice and spread it with little olive oil to make the grains separate. Allow it to rest at least for 30 minutes.
