Baby Corn Fried Rice Recipe

Baby corn fried rice recipe with photos and video. This is a very easy(as usual), tasty and flavourful Indo-Chinese fried rice recipe made with my favourite baby corn and other veggies like peppers, beans, carrots and spring onions.

Sometimes, I head to the fridge and take out everything I have; rustle up a recipe on the spur of the moment. Do you do such things?

I love to chop veggies for Chinese dishes-they are cubed or slit long and they are oh so very colourful.

Baby Corn Is a Favourite

Baby corn is a favourite in any form; crispy, sautéed, fried, chilli but the fried rice was an exception so went ahead to rectify that. I love Chindian recipes as they are cooked al dente or till they still have a crunch in them. I am not too fond of soggy foods. Baby corn is like a mushroom; doesn’t have any taste of its own. It absorbs the flavours of the other ingredients like sauces and spices; perfect as it blends well with carrots, peppers, cabbage et al and cooks easily.

To make baby corn fried rice, you can use regular rice, preferably cold rice. If it is leftover then its best. As the kiddos and my DIL love everything sweet. I made some pineapple cucumber raita to serve with the Baby Corn Fried Rice Recipe.
