  • Scrambled Egg
  • 7 green Beans chopped ⅓ cup chopped
  • 1 ½ medium sized Carrots chopped ⅓ cup choppped
  • 1 tablespoon Oil
  • cup chopped Scallion Greens or Onions
  • ½ teaspoon Ginger Garlic Paste or chopped
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper Powder adjust to taste
  • ½ - ¾ teaspoon Salt adjust to taste

Scrambled Egg

  • 1-2 Eggs I used 2 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon Water
  • teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
  • teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Oil

Instructions

  • Cook rice and let it cool. Leftover rice works great.

Scramble Egg

  • Take water, salt, black pepper listed under scrambled egg and mix.
  • Add egg and beat lightly.
  • Heat oil in a pan and pour egg mixture and spread it out turning the pan around.
  • Once the omelet is semi solid, scramble it.
  • When the egg is just solid, transfer to a bowl and keep aside until needed. Do not overcook egg.

Vegetables

  • Chop green beans, carrots and keep aside.
  • Boil water in a bowl and add veggies. Let boil for a couple of minutes or until soft. Do not over cook.
  • Drain and keep the veggies aside until need. Boil veggies just before making fried rice.
  • Alternatively, steam the veggies for 5 minutes or just until cooked, as shown in the video to retain the nutrients.

Fried Rice

  • Take oil in pan or a wok, saute onions and ginger garlic paste until onions are soft.
  • Add black pepper, salt and mix well.
  • Add cooked rice and stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
  • When rice is lightly fried, add veggies and egg.
  • Toss and stir until mixed together.
  • Fry for few more minutes until cooked.
  • Add green onion and fry for couple minutes, garnish with cilantro and serve

Notes

  • Vegetables - Blanch or boil chopped vegetables for couple of minutes in boiled water or steam the vegetables as I did in the video. Or saute vegetables along with onions/scallions.
  • Non Veg - Add cooked meats along with scrambled egg for a non veg egg fried rice.
  • Veg Fried Rice - For those you do not eat even egg, skip egg and make a veg fried rice.
  • Nutrition - Nutritional values are approximate.
