CHEF’S NOTE:

I am a big fan of Asian food. Since moving to USA, I have learnt so much about Asian foods. It is such a huge cuisine here and fried rice is, by far, my favourite Asian dish. Fried rice is perfect if you have left over rice from the night before. This dish allows you to be creative. You may add all types of veggies that you prefer and even different proteins, such as chicken, steak, and prawns. You may even leave out proteins entirely for a vegetarian option. This is the perfect dish to share with friends and family.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups white rice (cooked)

¼ cup red peppers – diced

¼ cup broccoli florets

3 scrambled eggs
