Method

1.Boil water in a large vessel  and when its boiling add washed basmati rice. Add salt and 1/2 teaspoon oil and cook till its halfdone. It would take around 7 minutes. This is very important.  Rice should be seperate. When you feel it has to be cooked little further, switch off the stove and drain the water. Spread rice in a large tray and seperate them lightly with a fork. Handle them gently, because when rice is hot, if we keep on stirring with a heavy spoon, it will become mashed. Once the rice is cooled , store them in a tight container in fridge. This step has to be done on the previous day. Or if you are planning to prepare fried rice in evening , you can do this in morning.

2. Boil chicken with little salt and pepper powder. When done, shred them into little pieces. Or we can use the left over fried chicken.

3.Beat the egg togher with salt and little pepper.  Make scrambled egg with this mixture and keep it aside.

4.Heat oil in a pan , when its hot add sugar. After the sugar melted in oil , add the sliced white part of spring onion.

5.Add finely chopped ginger and garlic. Add slitted green chillies.

6.Now add finely chopped carrot, beans and cabbage. Fry them for 1-2 minutes in high flame. Add soy sauce and crushed stock cube.

7.Add Shredded chicken pieces and scrambled egg and fry them.

8.If you want to add chilly sauce and tomato sauce , add at this stage.

9.Now, slowly add cooked and cooled rice from fridge and mix it gently.

10.Add chopped green portion of spring onion and adjust with salt and pepper.

11.Serve hot.
