Simple Vegetable Fried Rice

This has to be one of the easiest of fried rice recipes. This recipe comes from my mother and you can call this an Indo-Chinese dish.

I’ve tried this recipe when I cook once in a while and it comes out well most of the time.

The taste is neither too spicy nor too bland. It is best eaten with tomato ketchup or a hot and sweet sauce.

You can cook this for either lunch or dinner. It is a light-weight alternative to heavy foods.

Original recipe from my mom is below.
