Simple Lunches 9

Simple Lunches is the series that I started for documenting every day dishes. I have ignored it for quiet some time now because I have gone fancy?! Egg Fried Rice could easily fit into the category, quick and easy to put together and tasty neverthless, even the rice avoiding folks (who shall remain nameless) love this dish. Fried rice used to be my standard order for a long time while visiting Chinese restaurants.

Ingredients
1. 1 Cup rice cooked and cooled
2. 1/4 cabbage cut into strips
3. 1/2 Red Onion cut into thin strips
4. 1 Carrot cut into strips
5. 15-20 Green beans cut into strips
6. 2 Eggs beaten and made into omelette
7. 1 1/2 tsp soy sauce
8. 1 1/2 tsp sambhar powder
9. Salt to taste
10. 2 tsp oil


Method
1. In a wok heat oil and when it is hot add all the veggies (2-5) and saute till they are 3/4the cooked.
2. Add sambhar powder to veggies and mix well. Sprinkle the salt if required (be careful with the salt as the soy sauce adds some salt as well)
3. Add the cooked rice, soy sauce and mix well and the egg cut into thin strips.
4. Mix well and serve hot

A simple dish that never fails to please. Enjoy just by itself or with ketchup on the side ;)

    I am big time sambhar powder user :) Usually add sambhar powder where it calls for chili powder, just because it is home made and also has cumin and coriander. Works well as a seasoning.
