Burnt garlic & mushroom fried rice is one of the popular aromatic & delicious variety of veg fried rice found in almost all chinese restaurants and stalls in India. The brunt garlic gives this rice preparation its unique flavour. Together with green chillies, crunchy vegetables, soya sauce & vinegar along with a garnish of spring onion greens & burnt garlic lends an invigorating touch to perfectly cooked Chinese rice.... to be mesmerized for long. You can also try out this simple fried rice with just mushrooms.... or you can add other veggies and scrambled egg. It is a complete meal on its own and you don't really need an accompaniment. If you like it spicy, you can add some Schezwan sauce, chilli sauce or chilli infused oil.... just a perfect supper for a cold rainy day as today's. Spices and ingredients can be varied according to one's choice. Rice cooked in advance works best for preparing any kind of fried rice. My kids love chinese food and this Burnt Garlic & Mushroom Fried Rice happens to be their favorite.
