This one is a interesting take on fried rice. Last night I was thinking what would I make for my office lunch box for the next day and I was feeling a bit lazy. On most days I'm a vociferous carnivore, since I didn't want to put in to much effort, so I looked into the fridge to find out what I had that I could use readily.
I knew I had some veggies and some pre-cooked rice. So I thought I will cook veggie fried rice but It didn't feel right without any non-veg so I added some eggs to it to make it more appealing to my palate and luckily found some pepperoni too. It turned out I can't just do anything totally veggie. What started as a lazy effort to cook turned something into really nice tasty fried Rice.
Here's what I used for the dish ( serves two).
Ingredients:
1. One small sweet pepper (Bell peppers) cut into small pieces
2. About five florets of broccoli cut into small pieces.
3. Half a Courgette cut into inch long strips (these are cucumber like veg, lately I have taken a liking for them. I use them for stir fry's as well regularly)
4. 2 eggs
5. Olive oil
6. 6-8 slices of pepperoni cut into small squares.
7. Salt
8. 2 cups of pre-cooked rice.
9. Fish sauce
Cooking:
Heat some olive oil in a shallow pan and scramble the eggs with a pinch of salt. Once done remove from pan and keep aside. Now a add a tablespoon of olive oil to same pan and stir fry the cut veggies for a minute and add pepperoni, cook for a further two minutes. now add the pre-cooked rice and mix well along with the scrambled eggs over heat for a further a minute. Add salt and 2 tablespoons of fish sauce and stir to combine the flavors. Remove the pan from heat and serve hot.
