Egg Fried Rice

After eating healthy for some time, this is my take on Egg Fried Rice. Also because my mom forced us to eat the afternoon's rice which my sister and me had wasted trying "portion control" diet.

Ingredients

2 eggs

2 medium onions sliced or chopped - depending on your level of laziness

Bunch of beans chopped finely

4 green chillies chopped 

2 carrots chopped finely

4 cloves of garlic chopped

1 medium capsicum cubed

1 cup cold rice

2 tbsp Olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Strictly Optional Ingredients

1 maggi chicken soup cube 

1/2 tsp Soya Sauce

1 tsp green chilli sauce

Procedure

Step 1

Beat the eggs along with some salt and pepper. Add oil to a small frying pan and scramble the egg mixture. Keep aside

Step 2

Add oil to a large frying pan, once heated add the sliced/chopped onions and garlic and fry till the onions are cooked. Add the chopped chillies,carrots and beans. Fry till partially cooked.

Note: All the vegetables should retain some crunch at the last and should not be totally cooked and mushy

Step 3

Add the chopped capsicum.Season the vegetable mixture with salt and pepper. Also add any optional ingredients (refer to the list above) at this stage.

Step 4

Add the egg and vegetable mixture together

Note: I fry the egg and vegetable mixture separately and then mix them together finally. This somehow reduces the "EGGY" smell from the dish.

Step 5

Add the cooked rice to the egg-veggie mixture and mix through. Check seasoning, add if necessary.

Note: In my opinion,Cooked rice which has been chilled for a while works best in case of all fried and variety rice. All the grains remain separate and don't get mushed like in the case of just cooked rice.

Step 6

Eat and let me know
