Egg Fried Rice

Egg fried rice is one of favourite meals to make. It's very quick and easy to make and it is very delicious. I often combine Chicken Manchurian with this Egg fried rice and the combo is great. Everyone loves it. 

(Serves 4)

Ingredients 

3 cups of cooked basmati rice (add 1 tbsp of oil when cooking)

3 tbsp of vegetable oil/ sunflower oil

1 tbsp ginger garlic paste

2 tbsp spring onions, finely chopped

2 small green chilli, finely chopped (optional if you don't like it spicy)

1 cup grated carrot

1 cup chopped leeks (only the light green part)

5 eggs, slightly beaten with salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp of light soya sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

Spring onion leaves, finely chopped (to garnish)

Directions

1. Cook the rice few hours in advance and let it cool completely. 
2. Heat oil in pan/wok over medium to high heat and add ginger garlic paste, green chilli and spring onions. Saute well for a minute.
3. Now add the eggs and wait until the egg forms an omlet. When the egg starts to set, stir it while scrambling the eggs. 
4. Then add the carrots and leeks. Stir well and gradually add the cooked rice. 
5. Increase the heat and keep stirring the rice in high heat until everything is incorporated well.  Add salt and pepper to taste with a splash of soya sauce. Mix everything well and keep stirring in high heat for about 3 minutes. 
6. Garnish with chopped spring onions leaves. Serve hot. Enjoy!

Notes:

Cook the rice 90% with oil so the rice won't stick together. As soon as the rice is cooked, mix it well and chill for best results.
