Notes

  1. Use pre-cooked rice in every fried rice recipe and refrigerate it for a few hours before making fried rice. Freshly cooked rice breaks and turns mushy in fried rice.
  2. Adding baby corn is optional. Corn fried rice can be made with just sweet corn kernels too.
  3. Make fried rice on high flame and keep stirring continuously to avoid burning of ingredients.
  4. Since fried rice is made on high flame, keep all the ingredients ready and near the stove.
  5. Soy sauce can also be added to the recipe, I have skipped soy sauce to avoid changing the color of rice.
  6. You can also add vinegar/ lime juice to make the corn rice slightly sour.
  7. More recipe tips and tricks are given in the post above, please refer them to make this recipe.
