Chinese Vegetable Fried Rice

Directions

1. 1
   To begin making the Chinese Fried Rice Recipe, we will first cook the rice. I prefer to use a day old rice that has been precooked, but you could make fresh cooked rice as well for this recipe.
2. 2
   Wash the rice and soak the rice in 3 cups of water for 30 minutes.
3. 3
   Drain the water.
4. 4
   Transfer the rice to a cooking pan and cook with 4 cups of water, salt and 2 tablespoons of oil. Simmer it covered for 15 minutes or until you see the water has been absorbed by the rice.
5. 5
   Turn off the heat at this point. Note The rice should not be over cooked, it has to be 90% cooked. Allow the rice to cool completely. For chinese rice, a rice that is made a day old is better, as it has the perfect texture.
6. 6
   Heat oil in a pan; add the beans, carrots, green bell peppers celery, ginger, spring onion and saut on high flame for 3 4 minutes until the vegetables become slightly tender.
7. 7
   Add the rice, soy sauce, black pepper, and salt.
8. 8
   Mix well and stir fry the chinese fried rice for 2 more minutes. Turn off the heat and transfer the Fried rice to a serving bowl and serve hot.
9. 9
   Serve the Chinese Fried Rice along with Vegetable Manchurian Balls in Hot and Spicy Garlic Sauce for Sunday Lunch.
