chilli garlic fried rice | how to make chilli garlic veg fried rice

By swasthi , on June 3, 2019, 22 Comments, Jump to Recipe

chilli garlic fried rice is a variation to the basic veg fried rice from the Indo chinese cuisine. It turns out aromatic, mildly hot, spicy and delicious. Quite popular in the Indian chinese restaurants and is made on the same lines as the chilli garlic noodles.

As such this fried rice doesn’t demand a side dish since it is aromatic, spicy and good to serve on its own. But sides like chilli chicken, garlic chicken, chilli mushroom or any other Indo chinese gravy dishes go very well with this rice. If you have a side dish, you can skip using the mixed veggies in this recipe. The rice would still turn out great.

How to make chilli garlic fried rice

1. Prepare garlic and red chili. Chop garlic finely and cut deseeded red chilies to flakes with a food scissor. You can also blend these both and make a chilli garlic paste and use in the recipe. If you like a very aromatic fried rice, then i suggest crushing to a coarse paste in a hand pestle or blender. Since i have young kids home, i have not crushed them.

2. Wash and soak rice for about 30 mins. Cook al dente. Set aside to cool completely.

3. Heat oil in a wok or pan, saute red chili and garlic along with a broken red chilli for just 1 min. Do not do this on a high flame and do not over cook too. This may lead to bitter taste.

4. Add thinly sliced onions or spring onion whites. Saute on high flame from now on.

5. When the onions turn lightly pink, add the rest of the veggies. I have used carrots, capsicum, beans and cauliflower. You can also use cabbage, bean sprouts etc.

6. When the veggies turn slightly tender or half cooked, add soya sauce.

7. Add vinegar and sugar. Saute for a min.

8. Add cooled rice and salt. I also prefer to add a bit of olive oil now. If you have celery or spring onion greens you can add it now.

9. Mix and fry for 2 mins.

Serve hot.

Please do not gauge the quantity you see in the pan, I had doubled the recipe to make 4 servings.
