Basmati Rice
The type of rice is important. I recommend Basmati. It is the best Fried rice. It brings out the aroma and flavor of Fried rice. You can smell the Fried rice even before it's done a block away! Some important factors will determine the quality of Fried rice you cook.
Vegetables
I do not recommend vegetables for plain Fried rice which should be eaten with all kinds (veg or non-veg) of gravy. But if you insist you can use peas, carrots, chunks of potatoes or green beans. Most Fried rice we taste are bland. It even begs the question, "What is it made of ?". So go ahead and let all the parts contribute to the whole Fried rice flavor!
Quality
Give careful attention to the cooking time and amount of water. These important factors will help you turn out the best Fried rice in town. Enjoy and serve my special Fried rice recipe!
