Hello friends, hope you all doing good.
Today’s recipe is chicken fried rice from our most favourite indo – Chinese cuisine.This recipe is easy to make & it’s also called one pot meal. Where we used to add all ingredients like rice, Veggies, eggs, meat or chicken & with some Chinese sauce & spices.
This version of chicken fried rice is easily found in the roadside hotels & small food truck of tamilnadu. Usually this fried rice looks like in bright red color, coz they use to add some of our local southern spices to the dish like red chilli powder, garam masala which also add more flavour & taste the rice.
Usually in fried rice, most of restaurant & roadside shops use to add ajinomoto to enhance the taste. But nowadays we know that anjinomoto (monosodium glutamate) is not good for our health and its gives more side effects. Am sure, it will taste good without adding anjinomoto. Instead of it we add a tsp of white vinegar to give sourness to the dish.
