Ingredients
- 2 cup 2 Cups Boiled Rice (soaked)
- 2 tbsp Cooking Oil
- 2 Eggs beaten
- ¾ cup Carrots (finely chopped)
- ¾ cup Cabbage (finely chopped)
- ¾ cup Green capsicum (finely chopped)
- ½ tsp White Pepper Powder
- 1 tsp Chicken Powder (or chicken bouillon)
- 1 tsp Salt
- ¾ cup Green Onion (finely chopped)
Instructions
Prepare the Rice:
- Start by boiling your rice. Once cooked, spread the rice out on a tray to let it cool completely. This step helps prevent the rice from becoming mushy when stir-frying.
Cook the Eggs:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs and stir them gently to scramble. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the eggs are just set. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same wok, add a bit more oil if needed. Toss in the finely chopped carrots and cabbage. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften slightly but still have a bit of crunch.
Combine Rice and Vegetables:
- Add the cooled boiled rice into the wok with the vegetables. Toss everything together, mixing well so the rice gets coated with the oil and vegetables are evenly distributed.
Season the Rice:
- Sprinkle the white pepper powder, chicken powder, sugar, and salt over the rice. Stir everything together to ensure the rice is well-seasoned.
Finish and Serve:
- Add the scrambled eggs back into the wok along with the chopped green onions. Toss everything one last time to combine. Finally, drizzle the sesame oil over the rice, giving it a rich, nutty flavor. Stir and mix well before serving.
