Steamed Broccoli Egg Fried Rice


Finally here is the recipe. :)-

The key to perfect fried rice is speed and high heat . You have to have all your vegs cut and ready to be tossed. Ingredients:
- vegs like broccoli florets, carrots, snap peas, green bell pepper
- 2 cloves of garlic
- soy sauce
- cooked and chilled rice (day old is even better and rice should not be sticky)
- green onions
-thai basil leaves (optional)
- green chillies
- cilantro (optional)

Recipe:-

  • Steam cook broccoli & carrot separately for 1 or 2 mins. The vegs should not be overcooked.
  • Mix 2 eggs (or 3 egg whites) & 1 sp of soy sauce in a bowl and beat lightly with a fork or whisker
  • In a hot non stick pan (wok if you have is best - but I managed with a non stick) pour 2sp of oil (I used olive oil)
  • when the oil is hot enough, pour the egg mixture and scramble quickly and transfer to a bowl
  • sprinkle pepper if desired
  • In the same pan, add 2 sp of oil and when oil is hot enough, quickly add garlic, green chillies (1 or 2 long slit), all of the vegs except broccoli and fry in high heat until they are tender
  • Lastly add broccoli & green onions & cilantro/basil leaves and toss for few seconds and make a well in the center and pour 2 sps of soy sauce and quickly stir in all vegsfor a min so they all get coated with soy sauce. (soy sauce's saltiness will serve the salt part to the vegs.)
  • Then quickly add rice and stir so the rice gets the soy sauce color
  • Lastly add green onions, cilantro or basil leaves and stir for few secs. (if adding basil leaves, stir few more times so the leaves are wilted. But dont overdo as basil will add intense flavor.)
  • Now add the eggs and mix well. Turn off heat and serve hot with chilly paste if desired as in Thai restaurants.
