All-time favourite Vegetable Fried Rice in a Jain-friendly version, made without onions, garlic and other no-no ingredients. You will find that this delicacy retains its authentic flavour and texture despite the absence of these ingredients, which you might have thought to be indispensable in the preparation of Vegetable Fried Rice. The use of typically Oriental veggies like cabbage, capsicum and baby corn, along with tongue-tickling sauces, gives this main-course rice dish a fantastic flavour and aroma, which you will thoroughly enjoy. It is also important to stick to the cooking times mentioned in the recipe because if you under-cook the veggies, they will have a raw smell, whereas if you over-cook them, you will miss the crunch that is so typical of Chinese foods.
