Recipe Notes
- The addition of sugar doesn’t make this fried rice sweet, it balances the overall flavours of the dish. But if you wish to make it sugar-free, you can skip it.
- Chinese five-spice powder is a good ingredient for Indo-chinese rice dishes, it imparts a beautiful flavour to the food, and we like delicious, flavourful rice dishes, don't we? If you don’t have Chinese five-spice powder in your pantry, you can replace it with garam masala powder, and see how nice it tastes.
