Fried rice is the most common Asian meal that we keep making at home. It is easy to make by just cooking rice with vegetables like carrots, capsicums and French beans. Seasoning of soya sauce and vinegar makes it an appetising meal. Regular fried rice is a no-fuss recipe and is made pretty much the same in all households.
