Padhu Sankar Ingredients needed
Basmati rice – 1 cup
Oil -1 tsp for cooking rice
Beans – 1/4 cup finely chopped
Carrot – 1/4 cup finely chopped
Cabbage – 1 cup shredded
Capsicum -1/4 cup finely chopped
Spring onion greens – 2 1/2 tbsp finely chopped
Olive oil/Any refined oil – 2 1/2 tbsp
Garlic -1 1/2 tbsp
Ginger – 1 inch piece
Seasoning
Vinegar – 1 tsp
Red Chilli sauce – 1-2 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. Once cooked, 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 strips.
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 powder. 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 much soya sauce or red chilli sauce but you can add the sauces according to your taste to make it more Chinese. Adjust seasoning according to your taste.
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.
