Tips for Making the PerfectSweet Corn Fried Rice:

Rice: Always use ‘Short Grain Rice’ for fried rice as they donot break while cooking and cooks quickly too.

Sweet Corn Kernels: Fresh kernels are always better but you can use frozen sweet corn kernels too. Just squeeze extra water after thawing the kernels.This gives the corn a nice bite.

Vegetables: whatever vegetables you use in fried rice, always chop them into similar or small size. This evenly cooks the veggies and also helps cook them faster.

Wok: Always use a slightly bigger wok when making fried rice as it gives them more room to fluff up.

Whenever I make this Sweet Corn Fried Rice recipe, I always keep some for later use. Most of my family members love eating it fresh or hot.

But I love it cold for a next day office lunch, no hassles and no heating required.

I usually serve this with Chili Sauce like Sriracha or Schezwan Sauce, however, it can be eaten as prepared with no pairing.

Enjoy the Quick Sweet Corn Fried Rice with your loved ones and make it a part of your backyard parties or picnics.
