    Notes

    1. the key to success of this recipe lies in the use of correct type of long grained non-sticky rice. assure that the cooked rice does not have any lumps in it and each grain is separated properly.
    2. to give it a perfect chinese flavour, add celery instead of coriander leaves. no issues if you don't have celery.
    3. while adding salt, you need to keep few things in mind. one, as already mentioned, soya sauce too has salt. so add salt wisely. secondly it depends on the plan you have made as to how to serve veg fried rice. if serving with manchurian or paneer chilli, need to add less salt and if serving alone, then add salt accordingly.
    4. rice should be cool completely before adding to vegetables otherwise they will become mushy.
    5. choice of vegetables is purely yours
    6. if you have some leftover plain rice, this recipe is the best makeover for them.
