Fried rice

Ingredients :

Rice parboiled (750g)

Vegetable Oil

Chicken (whole chicken or chicken drumsticks)

Cow Liver (100g)

Plain Yellow Curry Powder – no chilli (1 tablespoon)

Green Beans (a handful)

5 medium sized carrots

Salt (to taste)

Onions - 3 medium sized bulbs

Seasoning – 3 Maggi/Knorr cubes & Thyme (1 teaspoon) Before you cook the Fried Rice

Procedure

Before you cook the Fried Rice , cut the vegetables

Wash all the vegetables. Scrape and cut the carrots into tiny cubes. Cut the green beans into small pieces of about 0.7cm long. Soak these 2 vegetables separately in hot water for about 5 minutes and drain. Cut 1 bulb of onion. Set all these aside.

Prepare the liver and chicken

Cook the cow liver till done and cut into tiny pieces. Cut the whole chicken into pieces and cook with the seasoning and 2 bulbs of onions (chopped). When done, grill in an oven or deep fry with vegetable oil.

Cooking Directions

Parboil the rice and draw its water .

Pour the chicken into a sieve to remove all traces of onions, thyme etc used in cooking the chicken. Pour the stock into a pot and set to boil. Once the water boils, add the parboiled rice. Also, add 1 tablespoon of plain yellow curry powder, then add salt to taste.

The water level should be slightly less than the level of the rice. This is to ensure that all the water dries up by the time the rice is cooked. Stir the contents; cover the pot and leave to cook on medium heat. This way the rice does not burn before the water dries up.

When the water has dried up, check that the rice is cooked.

Now, transfer the rice to another pot to help cool it down quickly.

Now pour a small amount of vegetable oil into a frying pan. When the oil is hot, add onions and stir for 10 seconds, followed by cow liver, the rest of the vegetables, then the cooked rice.

Add more salt if necessary. More curry powder may also be added at this stage if you need to touch up on the colour. Stir till all the ingredients have mixed well and transfer to a dry pot.
