Sweetcorn and Green Peas Fried Rice

Istruzioni

1. 1

   Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 20 minutes, then drain.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, add the soaked rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and let it cool completely (preferably use leftover or chilled rice for best results).

3. 3

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes until translucent.

5. 5

   Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

6. 6

   Add the diced carrot, sweetcorn kernels, and green peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

7. 7

   Add the cooked and cooled rice to the pan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

8. 8

   Pour in the soy sauce, sprinkle the black pepper and salt. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the rice is evenly coated and heated through.
