Tips:
1.
Fried rice is best made with leftover rice which had been refrigerated. 
2.
For better results, it would be better to cook the ingredients well before mixing with the leftover rice.  Do not press the rice when stir-fly, otherwise it would be very sticky.
3.
Remember to taste before serve.  In general, more oil is to be used in fried rice recipes.  As this is a healthy version, less oil is suggested to be used. 
4.
Turmeric powder is optional to be used.
