Vegetable fried rice is a popular rice dish and can be made in a jiffy.  It is an easy way to introduce veggies to kids, especially when they hesitate to take vegetables. But buying fried rice regularly from the restaurants is not a good option, is it? So let us try this at home. I have been doing this for many years and nowadays at least twice in a week.  Here, I am introducing a healthy way to make fried rice without Ajinomoto and sauces. Due to controversies on Ajinomoto, I will not recommend you to use it, especially when you make it for the kids. Also consuming sauces regularly is also not healthy.  Let us forward a step towards healthy food.

I have already given a detailed post on how to cook rice for fried rice. So I am not going to repeat that, but still a reminder. The rice should not be overcooked. It should be cooled completely before sautéing. You can also prepare rice in the previous night and refrigerate it. A well refrigerated rice will never give you a broken clumsy fried rice.  

 To make vegetable fried rice, main items are carrots and beans only. But some area they are using capsicum and cabbages also. But I personally don’t like them in my fried rice. In addition to this  you can use corn, baby corns, peas etc.

Instead of using Ajinomoto, we can make a flavorful and tasty fried rice with the natural flavoring agents like ginger, garlic and spring onions, so please do not avoid any of these.
