Cabbage - 1 cup shredded
Capsicum -1/4 cup finely chopped

Garlic -1 1/2 tbsp

Olive oil/Any refined oil - 2 1/2 tbsp

Vinegar - 1 tsp
Soya sauce -2-3 tsp
Salt and Pepper powder to taste (I used white pepper powder)

Preparation

Soak Basmati rice for 15 minutes and cook adding 1 1/2 cups of boiling water and a tsp of oil. Fluff it with a fork and spread it on a plate to cool.The cooked grains should be separate.

Finely chop beans, carrot, capsicum and spring onion greens.

Mince garlic and ginger

Shred cabbage into thin fine strip.

Method

• Heat oil in a pan, when the oil is very hot, add garlic and ginger, saute for a few seconds.Then add beans and fry for a few seconds, followed by carrot, cabbage, capsicum and spring onion greens. (Add vegetables in the same order)
  
• All the vegetables should be sauteed on high flame and continuous stirring is necessary as we want the vegetables to be crunchy and not fully cooked.
  
• Add cooked rice, soya sauce, vinegar, needed salt and pepper. Mix well and serve hot.

Note

The whole procedure should be done on high flames.

Chopping the vegetables finely is very important.

I did not add soya sauce as I prefer to have without it but you can add soya sauce according to your taste to make it more Chinese.

Adding finely chopped mushrooms along with vegetables makes it even more delicious.

Using olive oil adds more flavor but you can also use any refined oil. Buy Olive oil which is meant for cooking purpose.

While on my trip to Kodaikanal long time back(Hill station in TN),I saw a very old and poor lady making and selling these puppets for a living. I was touched by her hard work at that age and bought 2 puppets from her. I am happy that the dragon puppet I got from her fitted well for this Chinese Fried Rice.
