Here's a simple recipe for preparing Cabbage Fried Rice at home:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked basmati rice (preferably leftover and cooled)
- 1 cup finely shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup carrots, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup green peas
- 1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
- 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Salt to taste
- Spring onions for garnishing (optional)
- Fried eggs or scrambled eggs (optional, for added protein)
Instructions:
- Cook the basmati rice and let it cool. It's preferable to use leftover rice as it's less sticky.
- Heat oil in a pan. Add chopped onions, green chilies and ginger-garlic paste. Sauté until the onions are translucent.
- Add shredded cabbage, chopped carrots and green peas. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still have a crunch.
- Add soy sauce, chili sauce, black pepper powder and salt. Mix well to coat the vegetables with the sauces and seasonings.
- Add the cooked and cooled basmati rice to the pan. Gently mix to combine the rice with the vegetable mixture. Ensure that the rice grains don't break.
- If desired, you can push the rice to the side of the pan and pour beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs and mix them with the rice.
- Garnish with chopped spring onions if available.
- Cabbage Fried Rice is ready to be served. You can serve it hot as is or with a side of your favorite sauce.
