Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 250 gms Rice
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 small Onion (roughly chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Ginger-garlic Paste
  • ½ cup Cabbage (finely chopped)
  • 1 medium capsicum (finely chopped)
  • 1 medium Carrot (finely chopped)
  • ¼ cup Green Beans (roughly chopped)
  • ½ tbsp Soy Sauce
  • ½ tbsp Red Chili Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Separate the leftover rice grains if they are stuck, and spread them even on a plate to evaporate the extra moisture from them.
  • Use a grater to finely chop the cabbage, carrots, and capsicum. You can roughly chop the onions and green beans with a knife.
  • Take a wok, and heat oil in it. Add roughly chopped onions and ginger-garlic paste, and cook them on high heat for 1 minute. Make sure to continuously saute them, so that they do not burn.
  • Add chopped cabbage, carrots, and capsicum. Cook and saute them for 1 minute on high heat.
  • Add soy sauce, red chili sauce, sugar and salt. Mix well.
  • Add the leftover rice, and cook them for 1 minute on high heat.
  • Your Hong Kong fried rice is ready to be served.

Notes

  • This is a vegan dish, so I didn't add any, but you can put in some crumbled paneer as well, to incorporate protein in the meal.
  • Instead of vinegar, topping the rice with lemon juice is also a good option.
  • You can also add cashews before onions to make it nutty and creamy.
 
How to store:
While ordinary cooked rice is long-lasting, fried rice is unfortunately not because of the sheer number of ingredients in it.
However, it can be refrigerated for 2-3 days after placing it in an air-tight container. They can also be frozen for up to a month.
But the best way is to consume it fresh.
