Onion Fried Rice or Spicy Onion Rice is one of the simple yet delicious recipes which can be made with fewer ingredients. I have added sprouted green peas to give nutritional punch to this recipe.
Whenever I feel lazy I prefer making onion rice as this can be made even without beans. Sometimes I prefer adding spring onions as it adds more flavor. Also if we are left with plain rice this recipe or egg fried rice becomes my favorite food.
Apart from all above, rice has become a staple food in major parts of Asia. We can make this recipe with normal rice grains or even basmati rice all we need to take care is to keep grains nonsticky for which we can add little oil while cooking rice.
