Ingredients

• 2 cups - cooked rice, long grained, preferably one day old
• 1 cup - mixed cooked vegetables (fresh or frozen) - your choice
• 1/4 bunch - scallion, cut thin (green parts only)
• 1 egg, beaten lightly
• 1 tsp - garlic puree
• 1/2 tsp - ginger puree
• 2 tsp - vegetable oil
• 1/2 tsp - sesame oil
• 1 tsp - hot sauce
• 2 oz soya sauce (try to find this - this is the key...if not, a good quality soy sauce will work)

How to Make Garam Vegetable Fried Rice

• Get your pan or wok hot. Add the vegetable and sesame oils.
• Saute the garlic and ginger for 10 seconds.
• Add your cold, one-day old rice. If your heat is high enough, the rice won't stick. Stir-fry it for about 1 minute.
• Add your vegetables and hot sauce. Cook for another minute.
• Now, tilt your pan towards you, at a 45 degree angle.
• Push the food up, so that you have some space on the bottom. This is where you add your egg.
• Scramble it using chopsticks or a rubber/plastic spatula.
• When the eggs are just about scrambled, put your pan back down and toss everything together.
• Add the soya sauce. Toss everything together.
• Let the liquid seep into the rice.
• It should not be liquidy. Add the scallions.
