Veg Fried rice

I made this for the pot-luck dinner last night. And the host made the yogurt raita to go with it. I enjoy eating it without any accompaniments, just with some green chillies in vinegar.

Short grain rice - 3 cups ( I didn't get short grain so used the sona-masoori)
mixed veges- 500 gms ( I used the forzen ones from th super market - I am just too lazy to chop them all)beans, carrot, peas,corn.
Green capsicum- 1 finely chopped
Spring onions - 2 bunches finely chopped
cabbage- 1/4 finely chopped( we get really big cabbages here)
green chillies - 3 finely chopped
garlic- 3 cloves finely chopped
Soy sauce- 4 tbsp
chilli sauce- 3 spoons
tomato sauce- 2 tbsp
black pepper pdr- 2 tspoons
Ajinomoto( chinese salt) - 1/2 tsp
oil - 3 tbsp

Soak rice for half hour in lots of water. Put 1-2tbsp cooking oil and salt and keep it on stove. Let it boil and one its almost done, drain the rest of the water and keep it aside to cool.

In a pan/wok, add 2-3 tbsp oil on high heat. Put the chopped garlic. Stir fry for a minute, add half of spring onions and capsicum. Keep stiring otherwise it gets burnt due to high heat. Once that look a little soft, add cabbage. Keep stiring. once thats softened a bit, add the rest of the frozen mix veges and stir till that looks 3/4th done. Add all the sauces, pepper, ajinomoto and salt. Cook on high for few more minutes untill done.


Mix it with the cooked rice and add the rest of the spring onions on the top and mix again slightly.
