About Egg Fried Rice
Egg Fried rice is a comforting dish that can be enjoyed as a standalone meal. Its ease of preparation has made it a favourite amongst many. The only time consuming part of making fried rice is chopping the vegetables. However, if your veggies are prepped and chopped in advance, this dish comes together quickly. The rice used for making fried rice should be cooked and cooled completely. Ideally, a day-old rice stored in the refrigerator works best for fried rice.
Step-wise instructions with pictures
Firstly chop all the veggies and keep aside.
Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan. Add the eggs, season with black pepper powder and salt, and scramble them until cooked. Set the scrambled eggs aside.

Next, add the chopped onions and sauté .
Add the chopped French beans, carrots, capsicum, and cabbage, and sauté on high heat for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
