Cookd masalas for basmati rice
Method
Wash the Basmati rice and soak for 20 minutes.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add salt and water. Add the soaked Basmati rice and cook for 5 minutes.
Strain the rice and spread it on a plate or tray. Allow it to cool. This prevents the rice from sticking to each other.
In a bowl, combine the chicken, soy sauce, black pepper powder and cornstarch.
Heat a wok and add 1 tbsp of oil. Add the eggs along with a pinch of salt. Scramble it and remove it from the pan.
Add 3 tbsp of oil and add the chicken, leaving space between each piece. Cook it for 3 minutes and remove it from the pan.
In the same pan, add the garlic, ginger and scallions. Saute and then add the cabbage, carrot and beans. Add sugar and saute for 1 minute on high heat.
Add white pepper powder, soy sauce and chilli sauce. Mix well.
Add the cooked rice, eggs and chicken. Toss until evenly combined. Add 1 tsp of salt.
Allow it to cook for 2 minutes, tossing occasionally. Add the spring onions, toss and remove from the heat.
