"Baba's" Egg Fried Rice

My 3 year old named this fried rice (she calls me Baba)... :-) She loves it. This is very simple fried rice and does not look any fancy. But if you are dad (or a mom) and your kid is bored of eating the same staple you have to try this. It's so easy that you could make it every now and then.

Try it... Enjoi...

3. Veg. oil - 1 Tbsp.

4. Salt - 1 Pinch

5. veg. oil - 2 Tbsp.

Preparation:

1. In a pot boil 2 cups of water and add rice along with 1 tbsp. oil and salt.

2. Cook the rice for about 15 Mins. or until the rice is cooked. Strain the rice and spread it over a clean dry surface so that it doesn't sick to each other.

3. Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a large sauce pan and sauté garlic for 2 mins.

4. Add ginger and green chillies and sauté for another 2 mins.

5. Add onions and sauté for about 5 mins. or till the onions are translucent.

6. Crack open the eggs into the pan and stir it constantly to form small egg particles (very similar to scrambled egg).

7. Add salt and pepper to the pan and cook for 2 mins.

8. Add the vegetables (carrots, bell peppers and probably green peas or beans) and cook for 5 more mins. or until the veggies are soft.

9. Mix in rice, vinegar and soya sauce and sauté for another 5 mins or until the rice, sauce and veggies are well combined.

Note: taste the rice and if it’s too bland add a little bit more soya sauce.

10. Get the pan off the flame and serve it warm with Chinese gravy dishes.
