Chinese typically use long grained rice for their preparation of rice dishes. You have to be very careful in the way rice is cooked, as that is what determines the texture of a prefect fried rice.

How to make Chinese Vegetable Fried Rice With Red Cabbage/ Purple Cabbage
To begin making the Chinese Fried Rice Recipe, we will first cook the rice. I prefer to use a day old rice that has been precooked, but you could make fresh cooked rice as well for this recipe.
Wash the rice, place the rice in a pressure cooker, add salt, 1-1/4 cups of water and a tablespoon of oil. The oil help in keeping the rice separate and fluffy.
Pressure cook the rice for 2 whistles. After 2 whistles, turn the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes and turn off the heat. Allow the pressure to release naturally.
Allow the rice to cool completely by transferring it to a flat plate.
The next step is to stir fry the vegetables for Chinese Fried Rice
Heat oil in a pan; add the ginger, spring onion greens and saute for a few seconds.
Add the green beans, carrots and red cabbage, sprinkle a little salt and and sauté on medium heat for 3 – 4 minutes until the vegetables become slightly tender. You can optionally cover the pan to fasten the cooking process.
Once the vegetables are cooked through, add the cooked rice, crushed black pepper and rice vinegar.
Mix well and stir fry the Vegetarian Chinese Fried Rice for 2 more minutes. Turn off the heat and transfer the Vegetarian Chinese Fried rice to a serving bowl and serve hot.
