INDONeSI@N Fried Rice

hey folks,
i had thought of cooking everyday, and putting up, sum thing or the other recipe for all you lovely people. But, i somehow find it difficult to cook, because i am never at peace. the conflict continues in my mind. and i  am not loving it. but couple of days back, bored of the usual home made normal ghar-ka-khana, i decided to make something different. thanks to the pocket Neeta Mehta book, for providing me with this easy & yummy recipe.

i have always heard about leftover recipes, but haven't tried that much. but now that i am jobless, and can't spend endlessly on buying expensive stuff, so my interest has turned towards them. this happens to be one of that kind. here goes the recipe:

INGREDIANTS:

• 4 cups cooked rice, left over
• 2 eggs- lightly beaten with pinch of salt & pepper
• 3 tbsp Oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• spring onions, chopped, handful
• 1tbsp chopped garlic
• 2 green chillies, chopped
• 1-2tbsp soya sauce, depending on your tastebuds
• 2tbsp tomato puree
• 1tbsp vinegar
• 1/4tbsp sugar
• 1/2 cup shredded cabbage
• 1/2tsp salt
• 1/2tsp red chilli powder

METHOD:

• Run a fork through the rice, so as to separate the grains. Make sure the rice is cold, otherwise it might get soggy will frying.
• Ligtly grease a non-stick pan with 1/2tbsp oil.
• Add the beaten eggs (i had added some red chilli flakes along with salt & pepper).
• Swirl this on the pan, to make an omlette. Once set, you can keep aside and allow it to cool. Roll the omlette and then cut it into 3/4" thick pcs to get omlette strips.
• Heat the remaining oil in kadhai. Add the onions, spring onions, garlic, chilli flakes & fry until soft.
• Next add in the tomato puree, vinegar, sugar & cabbage and stir constantly, till cabbage is almost half cooked.
• Add the rice and the soya sauce. Add salt, red chilli powder & mix well.
• Now ready to serve.

this is such an easy recipe that one can have it at any point of the day. I like it beause t hardly takes any time to cook, and almost all ingrediants are handy. Moreover, egg is just an option, you can always replace egg, or can keep on adding other stuffs with egg. Well, i had tried it with bacon, chicken, ham & sausages. Those taste equally good. I do also put in a bit of freshly chopped coriander at times.
Make the dish suitable to your own taste buds, because it can be different then mine. That's the only way to be creative with these recipes and thus add your own touch along with the pinch of love that you add.
Try it. And let me know.
