Method:

• Soak basmati rice for 30 mins and then cook it with 1&1/2 cups of water.(pressure cook it for 2-3 whistles).
• Break noodles into tiny pieces and cook them in water ( by adding little salt and a tsp of oil). Once done strain them and allow to cool.
• Finely chop the veggies,chop the white and green part of spring onion and keep them separately.
• Now in a pan add oil,followed by garlic and white part of spring onion.
• Now add finely chopped carrot and beans cook them for 2 -3 mins.
• Then add cabbage and capsicum cook them for 3 more mins.(Capsicum and cabbage should retain their crunchiness).
• Now add salt,pepper powder,soy sauce and mix well in high flame.(If possible toss them in high flame as how they do in road side shops).
• Finally add cooked basmati rice,noodles and stir well.Finally add green part of spring onion.
• Check for salt and serve with any type of manchurians/tomato sauce.

Notes:

• Cool the cooked basmati rice before mixing so that you will get individual grains.
• Soaking basmati rice before cooking gives you nice individual and soft grains.
• Add pepper powder as per your taste.
• You can use ready made fried rice powder also.
• Take care not to turn noodles mushy.
