Method
- 1
To boil Rice : Wash and soak the rice for 20 minutes. Bring water to boil in a deep pot, add salt and vinegar to it. Add the soaked and strained rice and boil it for 6-7 minutes and strain it immediately. Transfer the rice to a wide pan or tray and let it cool down completely. Refrigerate or let the rice sit about 2-3 hours, preferable overnight. This will ensure that the rice isn’t moist of fluffy anymore. Heat a wok/pan, make sure its super hot. Add oil, beat the eggs and scramble it on a high flame till it is fluffy. It doesn’t need to colour. Transfer the egg to another bowl.
