Ingredients
- 300 g basmati rice, boiled and cooled (about 4 cups cooked)
- 200 g boneless chicken, cut into small cubes
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 tbsp oil
- 1 carrot, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup green beans, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cabbage, shredded
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 spring onions, sliced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp chilli garlic sauce
- 1 tsp vinegar
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt, or to taste
Method
- Boil the rice with a little salt until 90 percent done. Drain, spread on a tray and let it cool and dry for at least 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok on high heat. Scramble the eggs for 1 minute until just set, break into pieces and remove.
- Add the remaining oil. Fry the garlic for 10 seconds, then add the chicken. Stir-fry for 5 to 6 minutes until golden and cooked through with no pink.
- Add the carrot, beans and cabbage. Stir-fry on high heat for 2 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Add the soy sauce, chilli garlic sauce, vinegar, pepper and salt, and stir for 30 seconds.
- Add the rice and eggs. Toss on high heat for 3 minutes, mixing gently so the grains do not break.
- Top with spring onions and serve hot.
Good to know: Cooled, dry rice gives separate grains. Freshly boiled rice turns sticky and clumps in the wok.
