Chinese Restaurant Style Egg Fried Rice

Chinese food served in different countries have different taste. I have made a lot of Chinese food and posted in my blog. They are what is popularly known in India as Indo Chinese food. Do check out that Fried Rice here.

The fried rice available in take out restaurants in US and UK have a different taste (not like the indo chinese fried rice). When I saw a site with the recipe for it, I knew I wanted to try it.



Handy tips

1. Never make fried rice with freshly cooked rice. Make it the night before and keep in fridge.

2. Never mix the sauces to the vegetables. Mix it to the rice.

3. Do not make every thing in one go. Stir fry the veggies, egg and rice separately and then mix.
