📝 Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice (preferably a day old)
- 1 tablespoon oil (vegetable or sesame)
- 2-3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- ½ cup carrots (finely chopped)
- ½ cup capsicum (chopped)
- ½ cup beans (finely chopped)
- ¼ cup cabbage (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons spring onion greens (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon vinegar (optional)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper powder
- Salt to taste
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare the Rice
Use leftover rice or cook fresh rice and let it cool completely. Make sure the grains are separated and not sticky.
2. Heat the Pan
Heat oil in a large wok or pan over high flame. Add chopped garlic and sauté for a few seconds until aromatic.
3. Add Onions and Vegetables
Add chopped onions and cook until they turn soft. Then add carrots, beans, capsicum, and cabbage. Stir fry on high flame for 3-4 minutes until veggies are slightly tender yet crisp.
4. Add Sauces and Seasoning
Add soy sauce, vinegar (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables evenly.
5. Add Cooked Rice
Add the cooled rice to the pan. Gently mix everything together without breaking the rice grains. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes so the rice absorbs all the flavors.
6. Garnish and Serve
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped spring onion greens. Serve hot with chili sauce, manchurian, or enjoy it on its own!
💡 Tips
- Use long-grain or basmati rice for the best texture.
- Cook on high flame to get a smoky flavor.
- Customize by adding paneer, tofu, corn, or scrambled egg.
