Stir fried rice with Chinese seasonings
serves 2-3 people
Ingredients:
2 cups boiled rice ( basmati or Jasmin rice)
2 tbsp cooking oil
½ cup boiled mixed vegetables (carrots, peas and beans)
2 eggs (optional)
1 tsp butter (for scrambled eggs)
¼ cup chopped spring onions
3 cloves garlic (optional) finely chopped
Seasonings-
Salt
1tsp black pepper powder
1 tsp crushed chilli flakes
1 tbsp light soya sauce (use half the quantity if using dark soya sauce)
1 ½ tsp flavour enhancer(ajinomoto)
Method:
Beat the two eggs together and add some salt in it. In a pan put butter and pour beaten eggs. Stir it constantly whilst cooking. It should take about 2-3 mins to cook the eggs and keep aside.
In a wok add cooking oil, saute chopped garlic (if using). When its golden and crisp add the vegetables and scrambled eggs, or whatever you are using with the rice. Fry for a minute and then add boiled rice followed by all 4 seasonings and soya sauce. Mix it gently and leave it on low flame for about 6-8 minutes. Turn the rice few times in between. This will help blend in all the flavours. Finally add spring onions.
In the picture above I have used basmati rice and only egg to make the rice.
Tips:
you can also add boiled chicken, prawns or beef strips.
