Egg Vegetable Fried Rice:

Ingredients:
1. 2 cups Rice
2. 5 – 6 Spring Onion
3. 1 small Cabbage
4. 1 Carrot
5. 2 Eggs
6. 5 – 6 large tbsp Oil
7. 1 tspf Salt
8. 3 tbsf Soya Sauce
9. 1 tbsf Vinegar (if you like. I don’t use vinegar)
10. 1tsp Black Pepper powder
11. 1 packet Knorr Chicken Cubes (containing 2 cubes)

Method:

1. Finely chop the vegetables.
2. Boil rice with salt. Boil till rice is 75 – 80%% soft not more than that. Then keep aside.
3. Beat both eggs with a little bit of orange food color
4. In a wok, fry beaten eggs and chop into small pieces while frying. Take fried eggs out and keep aside in a bowl
5. Put more oil in wok and add chopped cabbage and carrots.
6. Add soya sauce, pepper and Knorr chicken cubes in the vegetable and fry till cubes are melted
7. Add fried chopped eggs in the wok and stir
8. Add boiled rice and mix well with the contents in the wok
9. Now add Spring Onion in the end on the top of the rice(as Spring Onion taste better when minimally cooked and are fresh, green and crunchy).
10. Sprinkle a little bit of soya sauce and black/ white pepper and cover the wok with lid. I now place the wok on Tava (flat griddle) for further cooking. It helps the rice get soft without sticking to the wok on slow heat.
11. After around 5 - 7 mins, remove the lid and stir to mix the spring onions. And the rice is ready.


~ Happy cooking! :)
