A Simple Egg and Vegetable Fried Rice

 I love eating fried rice a lot.So instead of resorting to eating out all the time, I thought of preparing at home which is a healthier option, so I thought of sharing with all of you …

Ingredients:

•  2 cups Basmati Rice

•  2 eggs

• Ginger

• 2 pods of garlic

• 3 Green chillies

• 1 medium sized onion

• 1 carrot

• 1 capsicum

• 1tsp light soy sauce

• Pepper Powder

• 1 chicken stock cube(I have used Maggi Chicken Stock Cube)

Method:

• Cook rice as 1 cup rice: 11/2 cup water. Add salt and dissolve Maggi cube in water. Don’t take additional water to dissolve Chicken Stock Cube. I cook rice in pressure cooker to make it easier. Keep it aside.

• Scramble eggs with salt and pepper power and keep this also aside.

• Chop all the vegetables separately; I have used a chopper for this.

• Take a kadai and add refined oil.

• Now add ginger, garlic, green chillies and onion. Sauté for around 30 seconds.

• Now add chopped Vegetables continue sautéing till all the vegetables are cooked. Add salt and pepper. 
• Add soy sauce and mix.

• Add cooked eggs and mix.

• Add the cooked rice and mix well.

• Adjust salt and spice to taste.

Points to remember:

• Always use soy sauce in moderation. As we are using the stock the rice will be flavoured already.

• Since we are adding salt in rice, vegetables, and soy sauce contains salt, be a bit careful that you do not overdo the salt in the dish.

This fried rice tastes best when served with either ketchup or raita.
