INDO CHINESSE FRIED RICE

INGREDIENTS;
2 Cups Basmati Rice.
1 Cup Red/Yellow/Green/Orange Pepper sliced thin and long.
1 Cup thinly shredded Cabbage.
2 carrots sliced thinly.
2 stems of Spring onion shredded finely.
2 large eggs (optional)
1 inch Ginger chopped very fine.
4 Garlic Pods chopped fine.
Salt to taste.
1 tsp Pepper Powder.
1 Tsp Soy Sauce.
Sesame Oil / Canola Oil.

METHOD:

• Cook the basmati rice with just 1 1/2 cups of water. Totally for 2 cups of rice, use 3 cups of water, add a spoon of oil to the rice and cook using rice cooker.
• Set aside to cool when done.
• Meanwhile take a wide mouthed wok and add 3 spoons of oil. When  the oil is hot enough, add the diced ginger and garlic. This is what adds the flavour and authentic indo chinese taste to the fried rice. The more finer you chop the ginger and garlic, its better as it flavours and perfumes the oil, which is the base for sauteing all the other veggies.
• After a few seconds, add the thinly sliced peppers, cabbage and the carrots. Stir fry in the oil for a few minutes.Make a well in the center of the wok and beat the eggs and cook like scramble eggs,then mix it with the veggies (eggs are optional)
• Add salt for the veggies, pepper powder and a pinch of salt. Stir well.
• Dont allow the veggies to get mushy and lose their crunch so dont cook the veggies too much.
• In a few minutes, add the cooked rice and carefully stir all the ingredients.
• Add 1 tsp of soy sauce, chilli sauce and mix well.
• Garnish with chopped spring onion and enjoy the aroma wafting around you.
