Ingredients
  

Base

  • 1/2 lbs protein of your choice (chicken/ thinly sliced pork/ eggs/ tofu/ paneer/ veggies)
  • 2 cups day old cooked rice
  • 1 sliced bell pepper
  • 1 carrot, sliced or julienned
  • 1/2 onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup corn and peas
  • 1/4 cup red cabbage, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 inch ginger, minced

Spice Mix

  • 1 tsp red chili flakes/ chili powder
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp chili sauce
  • scallions/ cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Marinate the protein with oil, salt, pepper, and soy sauce, for 15 minutes and cook it in a really hot pan.
  • Now, take the protein out and add oil. Once the pan is really hot, add chopped veggies, followed by ginger, garlic, and chili flakes.
  • Toss the veggies for 2 to 3 minutes and make sure the crunch is retained.
  • Add protein to the pan with salt, pepper, and soy sauce. Once everything is well incorporated, add in rice and toss again.
  • Keep mixing on medium heat until rice is coated with spices.
  • Garnish with scallions and your rice is ready to serve. Bonus: Add a sunny-side-up egg for that boost of flavor.
