Egg Vegetable Fried Rice:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Rice
• 5 – 6 Spring Onion
• 1 small Cabbage
• 1 Carrot
• 2 Eggs
• 5 – 6 large tbsp Oil
• 1 tspf Salt
• 3 tbsf Soy Sauce
• 1 tbsf Vinegar (if you like. I don’t use vinegar)
• 1tsp Black Pepper powder

Method:

• Finely chop the vegetables.
• Boil rice with salt. Boil till rice is 75 – 80% soft not more than that. Then keep aside.
• Beat both eggs with a little bit of orange food color
• In a wok, fry beaten eggs and chop into small pieces while frying. Take fried eggs out and keep aside in a bowl
• Put more oil in wok and add chopped cabbage and carrots.
• Add soy sauce, pepper and Knorr chicken cubes in the vegetable and fry till cubes are melted
• Add fried chopped eggs in the wok and stir
• Add boiled rice and mix well with the contents in the wok
• 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).
• Sprinkle a little bit of soy sauce and black/ white pepper and cover the wok with lid.
• After around 5 - 7 mins, remove the lid and stir to mix the spring onions and the rice are ready to be served with chicken in hot sauce.
