If you do not want to add sauce just skip it, still this tastes delicious. Spring onions gives a great flavoring so do not miss to add it. In fact most of the days I do not make fried rice if I don’t have spring onion in stock. I always grow a small batch of spring onions in my balcony garden and use it whenever needed.

Expert Tips
Don’t skip spring onions as it gives a good amount of chinese flavor to the fried rice. Use freshly ground pepper for a great flavor. Mushroom cooks faster so just saute them for few mins that is enough. Do not overcook. Chopping the veggies very fine helps in cooking faster. Sauteing the veggies in high flame gives a nice smoky flavor and also retains its crunchiness without the raw smell. You can even add little chopped beans along with carrot and cabbage. I soaked basmati rice for 15 mins then pressure cooked for 1:2 ratio(rice:water) for 2 whistles in medium flame. Make sure to fluff the rice and spread it with little olive oil to make the grains separate. Allow it to rest at least for 30 mins before adding. I don’t use ajino motto, but if you prefer you can add a pinch of it at the final stage. Do not add more soya sauce than mentioned amount else your fried rice color will be on the darker side also the flavor will be very strong.
