Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked basmati, basmati sella or sano masoori rice cold and refrigerated
- 2 tablespoon oil preferably sesame or any neutral oil
- 2-3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 green chilies, slit or finely chopped
- ¼ cup spring onion whites, chopped
- ¼ cup carrots, diced or julienned
- ¼ cup bell peppers (mixed colors), diced or thinly sliced
- ¼ cup cabbage (optional), shredded
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium if possible
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar or rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon green chili sauce adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
- Salt to taste go easy because sauces are salty
- 2 tablespoon spring onion greens, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Cook and Cool Your Rice: Boil water with ½ teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon oil, then add rice. Cook until 80% done (al-dente). Strain, rinse under cold water, drain well, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before stir-frying
- Get Your Veggies Ready: Chop everything before you start cooking. It makes the cooking process much smoother. I chop everything the size of a pea. You can even choose to julienne your veggies. Finely chop the garlic, ginger, green onions and green chilies.
- Heat Your Wok: Make your wok very hot, then add oil and swirl it around.
- Cook the Flavorful Stuff: Fry the garlic, ginger, green chilies first and part of the spring onions. It smells amazing!
- Add the Veggies: On high heat cook the carrots first before adding bell peppers, green beans and cabbage (if using). Cook everything for 2-3 minutes. Keep them crunchy.
- Add Flavors: Put in soy sauce, allow it to caramelize a couple minutes before adding vinegar, green chili sauce, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Add the Rice: Gently mix in the cooled rice. Make sure each grain gets some sauce.
- Finish and Serve: Top with fresh spring onion greens and a bit of lemon juice if you like.
