Ingredients
  

  • 6 cup rice ( freshly cooked rice )
  • 250 gm chicken ( boneless chicken )
  • 3 egg
  • 1 red bell pepper ( medium size )
  • 1 green bell pepper ( medium size )
  • 1 onion ( medium size )
  • spring onions ( a small bunch )
  • tablespoon pepper powder ( freshly ground )
  • 1 tablespoon soya sauce
  • ¾ teaspoon chilly sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 4 tablespoon oil ( vegetable oil )
  • salt ( to taste )

Instructions
 

  • Pressure cook rice. Tips on how to pressure cook is given in the step-by-step preparation. Kindly read it without fail.
  • After the said time, switch off the heat. When the steam settles down, transfer the cooked rice onto the plate and spread until the rice cools down completely.
  • Slice bell pepper and onions into even size. Dice chicken into even-sized pieces and keep it aside.
  • In a wok, add oil ( I used vegetable oil ) on high heat.
  • Add sliced onions and saute until it turns translucent.
  • Now add chicken pieces, freshly ground pepper powder, salt, and saute well until chicken turns its colour. Saute chicken on high heat and do not reduce the flame.
  • Add bell peppers and toss for a minute until it is well combined. It’s time to add eggs.
  • Before adding eggs to the wok, push aside the chicken and vegetable mix to one side of the wok as shown.
  • Scramble the egg separately on the wok and mix it along with the chicken and vegetable mix.
  • Now add in freshly cooked rice which is aside to cool. Toss the rice thrice, so the chicken mix gets mixed into the rice.
  • Finally, add the chilly sauce, rice vinegar, and soya sauce to the fried rice, and mix well by tossing. Check the salt and heat. At this stage, you can add salt and pepper to adjust to your palate’s taste.
  • Yummy restaurant-style chicken fried rice is ready to serve. You can have any sauce or ketchup according to your taste. It is a bowl of delicious fried rice with a mix of chicken, egg, and vegetables to devour as it is.

Notes

Cook any aged long grain or medium rice. Aged rice always has less starch and does not be mushy.
Follow the tip mentioned on how to cook rice in a pressure cooker for fried rice.
Using vinegar is optional, but it adds a slight punch to the fried rice. Rice vinegar is the best choice than other vinegar varieties.
Use any oil with a high smoke point.
