  3. Heat a Kadai or Wok ,Add some Oil ,When warm Add Onion, Carrots, Peanuts,Raisins and fruits and stir them ..(be Cautious not to Burn the Raisins)

  4. Now add the Cooled rice.. and now add Fish Sauce..

  5. Just Random Stirring just to make sure that the vegetables, fruits and rice are mixed well..Also make sure not to break the rice grains.. The entire process till here shud not take more than 2 mins..Else everything will be overcooked...

  11. Now add the egg and Soy sauce mixture to the wok.. and keep scrambling them to avoid them sticking together..The more the oil..the more tastier..
    Don't overcook the eggs..Transfer the contents to the fried rice ..mix well and serve....
