Hetal/Anuja,
My family is vegetarian. Can I replace egg with silken or firm tofu… or should I skip the egg all together..?
In veg restaurants in india they didnt have egg in their fried rice.. wondering how tofu would taste..

Hi Satya,
You can definitely skip the egg altogether. Silken tofu is not a good substitute as it will just turn into mush.
Check out our video on Tofu Stir-fry:
http://showmethecurry.com/2009/04/27/tofu-stir-fry/
You can add this tofu to your rice and it will taste fabulous!

Hi Priya,
You can definitely use a big chef’s knife to make thin and long shreds — it takes a little patience and practice to make them really thin. Using the chopping blade of your food processor is a wonderful shortcut and time-saver. The only difference is that your cabbage will be in small bits.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,
I’d known too that fried rice is made with rice ATLEAST one day old,(they say, 2 or 3 dys old is better).
I make it that way. So when we take it out from the fridge we can just crumble the lumps of rice and they separate out easily…. this voids the necessity of frying the raw grains in oil, spreading them out etc etc so as to get all the grains separated.
This way we also can reduce the oil also while stir frying, as the grains already separated out easily when we crumble them out of the fridge.

Yum Yum yum !! you ladies rock…
I Think this fried rice is no. 1 hot and hit recipe in our indo-chinese cooking.. Thank you very much …
I have a question.. where do you buy your spoons from? like the Red one you have used in this and the blue one(for soups and dals) in your other videos. I tried it in Bed Bath and Beyond, Walmart .. but could not find those ones
.. i mean they do have flixible silicone spatulas but not the firm one !!
Thanks,
Kshitija

The spatulas that we use, red and the blue ones, we bought them at while back at a dollar store (yes, we are big spenders;)! But they are no longer available and unfortunately they do not have any brand name written on them either:(

Hi!
You guys make awesome food. Thanks for all your awesome recipes.
I have a request for you guys. Can you please do a video on truly Indian Indo-Chinese spring rolls from scratch? I mean no Chinese eggroll wrappers and should be long rolls. They are my favorite-st but have never been able to cook them just like we get in good restaurants in India. I think it’s a challenging recipe. The filling is easy but the wrap is not. Even in India, not all restaurants could make them right but I am sure it’s no challenge for you. And please do a video, not just posting recipe. Please….
Thanks!!!

Hi! Anuja and Hetal,
I’ve tried a few of your recipes loved the Manchurian especially. Could you please tell, what type of vinegar to use here and for chilly sauce, I had malt vinegar at home already, but didn’t find the taste right and today I bought white distilled vinegar, but the ingredients say distilled barley malt vinegar to my dismay, also I was really looking to make the chilly sauce with sesame oil but I see two varieties are available pure sesame oil and toasted sesame oil will using the second one spoil the taste ? So far I’ve used malt vinegar that I had at hand for rice, sauce and Manchurian.
thanks,
Mukta

For the vinegar, you want to use Distilled White Vinegar.
For the Sesame Oil, I don’t think using the toasted variety will spoil the flavor.
Good Luck!

thanks for this recipe. i was just thinking of making fried rice ad i had no clue how it is done
so,ithought of searching ur website and here i found the recipe!
i have a doubt. what if i am using left-over rice like of the morning or previous night? do i go ahead the same way? like saute the veggies,add the rice etc?
[Reply]
hetal Reply:

Hi KR,
Actually, left over rice works best for fried rice. Since you probably didn’t use broth to cook the rice, you might want to add a little extra sauce or seasonings to flavor the rice. All of the steps will be the same.

Just for INFO…
– As per Indian Receipe, Ajino-motto or MSG powder is used which is not available in USA.
– Eggs are never used as per india receipe
– Rice & Noodles both together is also works fantastic.
– With the same rice if you will add schezwan souce(It is also available in indian store) than it would be schezwan rice.

Hello Ladies.
You two are great team in kitchen cooking. I tried this receipe today for dinner. My husband and 2 kids loved it so much and barely left enough for me. Next time I will make a bigger batch. Thank you so much. Love you both.
