Sweet Corn Fried Rice

So last weekend was like a cookery carnival at home since mum was away. I made a Fried rice with stir fried veggies for lunch. I love Chinese food and enjoy dishes with tofu. Here is the recipe for the rice

Ingredients

Sesame seeds : 1 teaspoon

Chopped bulbs of spring onion : 1 cup

Garlic pods :4 diced

Ginger1 inch stick diced

Green chilly : 1 chopped up

Diced carrots : 1 cup

Steamed corn : 1 1/2 cups

Diced Capsicum: 1 cup

Cooked rice : 2 1/2 cups ( ideally left over rice from the fridge works wonders)

Soya Sauce : 2 teaspoons

Vinegar : 2 teaspoons

Salt : to taste

Pepper powder :1 teaspoon

Oil : 2 teaspoons

Spring onions : chopped up to garnish

Method

Heat oil in a wok and add the sesame seeds

Now add the chopped bulbs of spring onion and saute for a bit

Next add the chopped ginger+garlic and chillies and let it cook a bit

Then come the carrot and capsicum. Leave them for about a minute

Finally add the sweet corn. If you like the vegetable a lot then you could always add more Now add the soya sauce and vinegar and let it simmer for 30 seconds .

Then add salt Finally tip in the rice and sprinkel the pepper powder all over

Cover with a lid and let it cook for 2-3 minutes on a low flame

Garnish with spring onions and your all set to go

This is very very basic and I always keep making additions. For eg: I do this with only tofu sometimes or with only baby corn and so on. Unfortunately I am a little restless today and therefore dont feel like blogging about the stir fried veggies. I will do so as soon as the cook in me comes back to normal .
