        Method of preparation

• Take the chicken and marinate it with salt (around 1 tsp), corn flour, 1 tsp soya sauce and ½ tsp    pepper powder for about 15 minutes.
• Wash and soak long grain rice for an hour. Boil 4 cups of water for 1 cup of rice. Once it starts boiling vigorously, add the rice. Add lemon juice, salt (around 1 tsp) and 1 tablespoons of oil when the rice is cooking. 
• Simmer the rice on a low flame uncovered. Cook till soft yet grains separated. Drain water immediately and spread the rice it in a plate and let it cool down.
• Now take the marinated chicken in a frying pan containing 1 tablespoon of oil. Cover and cook on a low flame. Keep stirring to prevent burning. This is the perfect way to get tender chicken. Once the color of the chicken changes and it’s cooked turn off the flame and keep it aside.
• Beat one egg in a bowl and keep aside.
• In the same pan take 1 tablespoon of oil and saute chopped ginger and garlic for a while the add spring onion whites, carrot, capsicum and saute for some time.
• Now move the veggies in one side and pour the beaten egg. Wait for a while, then scramble the egg in the pan and mix with veggies.
• Now it’s the time to add Soya sauce (1 tsp) and chili garlic sauce (1 tsp), mix properly.
• Then add cooked rice, ½ tsp of pepper powder and vinegar. Saute for some time. Finally add spring onion greens. Adjust salt as per need.
• Fried rice is ready.Serve hot.

      

        Note

• Some people add ajinamoto (MSG) for extra flavor but it’s optional. I avoid using it in my recipes considering health point of view.
• To make chicken fried rice, i have used minced chicken but you can even use cubed boneless fillets or shredded chicken as per choice and availability
• You can add veggies as per your taste and availability.
