Since I am so used to that from my childhood, I add vegetables to my Egg Fried Rice too. Erm... and yes, the lazy part of me doesn't make any side dish and adding vegetables also helps with balancing the meal a bit better *sheepish grin* :D I have already shared the step by step pictures on **[how to make Vegetable Fried Rice](https://www.cookingandme.com/2013/01/indian-vegetable-fried-rice-recipe.html) **which is pretty much the same for Egg Fried Rice too. I have also added the couple ofextra steps below to make it easier for you. ## Egg Fried Rice Recipe *Preparation time: 20 minutes * *Cooking time: 15 minutes * *Serves 4* *Recipe source: Amma* **Ingredients for Fried Rice:** 4 cups of cooked rice (here's [how to cook rice for fried rice](https://www.cookingandme.com/2013/01/how-to-cook-rice-biryani-fried-rice-pulao.html)) 1 cup of mixed vegetables, chopped fine (use carrots, French beans and capsicum), optional 1 small bunch of celery stalks, chopped fine (discard the leaves) 1 small bunch of spring onions, chopped fine 2 tsp of [soya sauce](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002R8FO40/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=edibgard-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002R8FO40) 1 tsp of green chilli sauce (this is my favourite brand) 2 tsp of tomato sauce or ketchup 1 tbsp of freshly minced ginger + garlic 2 onions, sliced 1 tsp of freshly cracked black pepper 1-2 tbsp of oil 3 eggs **How to Make Egg Fried Rice:** 1. Heat oil and add the onions. Let them fry on medium heat until light golden brown, don't let them brown too much. Then, add the ginger + garlic and saute for another 2 mins. ![Vegetable Fried Rice Recipe-Indian-Chinese Veg Fried Rice Recipe](https://www.cookingandme.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/8372937526_cd59f2e270_z.jpg) 2. Add the finely chopped vegetables (if using) and celery and mix well. Cook for 2-3 mins until they wilt just a bit. Then add the soya sauce, tomato sauce, and green chilli sauce. Fry on high heat until the sauces bubble and reduce flame to medium-high, stirring constantly. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 mins. The vegetables should be cooked yet crunchy and not mushy or soft. If you are not using vegetables, you can skip to the next step after adding the sauces but I do recommend adding atleast some capsicum to your egg fried rice to add some extra punch. ![Vegetable Fried Rice Recipe-Indian-Chinese Veg Fried Rice Recipe](https://www.cookingandme.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/8372937488_bebb40fdd7_z.jpg) 3. Add the cooked rice and stir well to combine. Remove from fire, check for salt and add more if required. Add the pepper powder and spring onions and set aside. ![Vegetable Fried Rice Recipe-Indian-Chinese Veg Fried Rice Recipe](https://www.cookingandme.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/8372937614_646e273fb0_z.jpg) 4. In a bowl, beat the eggs + some salt + some pepper with a fork.  ![Egg Fried Rice Recipe-How to Make Egg Fried Rice Recipe](https://www.cookingandme.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/8398566742_4020a89690_z.jpg) 5. Scramble in a small pan with about 1 tsp oil and gently fold into the prepared rice. Don't break down the egg pieces too much while scrambling or over cook the eggs. Stop when they are a bit moist, they will cook a bit more with the heat from the pan and from the rice. Dried up bits of eggs are not fun, trust me! ![Egg Fried Rice Recipe-How to Make Egg Fried Rice Recipe](https://www.cookingandme.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/8398566650_6504a2caae_z.jpg) That's it!
