Sweet corn fried rice, an easy fried rice recipe with step by step pictures, perfect for lunch box too. Veg fried rice i make at home at least once in a week for kids lunch box. Though I follow the usual veg fried rice recipe, as the taste of the kids change, i customized it as per their requirements. Both of them don’t like the pepper taste in fried rice and i started using the Thai red chili or the green chili for spiciness. Recently when i ran out of other veggies and had only a bit of capsicum and frozen corn left, i made this sweet corn fried rice for the kids lunch box. As it was welcomed by kids, i thought i post this style of making fried rice. Do try this at home and let me know how it turned out.

- Description: Sweet corn fried rice, an easy fried rice recipe with step by step pictures, perfect for lunch box too
Basmati rice 1/2 cup
Olive oil 1 tblsp + 1 tsp
Garlic 1 tblsp (finely chopped)
Spring onion whites 3 tblsp ( can replace with normal onion too)
Fresh Red chili or green chili 1
Sugar 1/2 tsp
Capsicum 2 tblsp
Sweet corn 1/3 cup
Spring onion greens 1 tblsp (to garnish)
Salt as needed
Soya sauce 1 tsp
Method :
- Wash and cook the basmati rice in 3/4 cup of water along with little salt and 1 tsp oil.
- Cook in pressure cooker for 3-4 whistles.
- Once done spread in a wide plate. Let the grains be separate.
- In a pan add oil and add the chopped garlic, slit chili and spring onion whites.
- Saute for 2 minutes and add the sugar.
- Sugar when caramalised gives a nice taste to the fried rice.
- You can discard the chili from the oil now and it may get too spicy, especially the Thai chilli we get here is very spicy.
- Once the garlic becomes slight golden color, add the capsicum and sweet corn. I used frozen corn. If using fresh one, cook this add.
- Saute in a medium high flame for 2-3 minutes.
- Ensure not to burnt it.
- Add salt and soya sauce to this.
- Mix well and add in the cooked rice.
- Gently mix it well without breaking the rice.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Switch off the flame and garnish with spring onion greens.
- You can enjoy the fried rice as it is or have it with Manchurian too.
Notes:
- Instead of chilis, you can add 3/4 tsp of pepper powder in the last step along with rice.
- Always cook the basmati rice to separate grains for the sweet corn fried rice. The fried rice can be made using left over rice too.
