Fried rice is a beloved dish, perfect for a quick meal, and this recipe is both simple and delicious. Follow these steps to create a flavorful dish that can impress family and friends.

Step 1: Prepare the Rice

• Rinse 1 cup (200g) of basmati rice thoroughly under running water until the water runs clear.
• Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. This helps the rice grains remain separate when cooked.
• In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
• Add 1½ teaspoons of salt to the boiling water.
• Add the soaked rice and cook until it's about 70% done (approximately 8-10 minutes).
• Drain the rice and set it aside to cool completely. This prevents it from becoming mushy when frying.

Step 2: Prepare the Eggs

• In a bowl, crack 3 eggs and add a pinch of salt and ¼ teaspoon of crushed black pepper.
• Beat the eggs well until fully combined.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of refined oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
• Pour the egg mixture into the pan and scramble until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

• In the same pan, add 3 tablespoons of refined oil.
• Add 2 teaspoons of finely chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant.
• Add the white part of ¼ cup chopped spring onions and sauté for another minute.
• Add the following chopped vegetables:
  • ¼ cup carrots
  • ¼ cup green beans
  • 2 tablespoons capsicum
  • ¼ cup cabbage
• Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

• Add the cooled basmati rice to the vegetable mixture in the pan.
• Pour in 2 teaspoons of light soy sauce and 2 teaspoons of either chili-garlic sauce or chili sauce.
• Add ½ teaspoon of sugar and ½ teaspoon of crushed black pepper to enhance the flavor.
• Gently toss everything together to combine, ensuring the rice is well coated with the sauces.

Step 5: Incorporate the Egg and Garnish

• Add the scrambled eggs back to the pan and mix well with the rice and vegetables.
• Finally, add the green part of ¼ cup chopped spring onions for garnish.
• Stir everything together for an additional minute on medium heat until heated through.
