Sweet Corn Fried Rice



How to make Sweet Corn Fried Rice | Super quick and easy recipe of sweet corn fried rice with stepwise images..


Monsoon in India is synonymous with the arrival of the fresh sweet corn season. Butta aka roasted corn on the cob is the most popular street food in India. And when fresh, juicy and ripe corn is getting roasted on charcoal fire on a beautiful rainy day that luscious aroma is super divine and when it is flavoured and spiced with lemon juice, red chilly powder and salt... it becomes World's one of the most delicious and heavenly pleasurable food for this beautiful season.


My today's recipe star ingredient is Fresh Sweet Corn. Sweet Corn Fried Rice is an Indo Chinese recipe of steamed rice and veggies which are stir fried with sweet corn and colourful veggies and flavoured and spiced with green chillies and fried rice masala powder. If fried rice masala powder is not easily available to you , then use soya sauce, chilly sauce, vinegar and Monosodium Glutamate as per your tase. In India the most popular brand name of this product is Ajinomoto ... 


Like Schezwan fried rice this is again very easy and simplified recipe ...



The plan of action for today's recipe is as follows :-

1. Boil sweet corn kernels until soft
2. Cook rice by draining method.
3. Vegetable cutting 
4. Stir fry rice and vegetables 
5.Serve hot



Cooking rice by draining method is best suited method for the fried rice. Cooking rice by draining method means the rice is cooked in lots of water and then drained in a colander and then kept under running tap water to halt the cooking process.
