Hello everyone and Happy Sunday. Welcome to a new week. Thanks to @hivelearners for the chance, the prompt for today encourages creativity on Sunday. Because of my declining health, I didn't actually attend church today. So today I'll be preparing fried rice the way my mother taught me, even though I don't have all the ingredients for a classic and standard fried rice but at least I've got the fundamental stuff, so don't expect much from me since it's another low-budget fried rice.
I used the following ingredients:
- Rice
- Curry/Turmeric
- Thyme
- Green peas
- Carrot
- Onions
- Beef Meat
- Water
- Maggie cubes
- Salt
- Green pepper
Recipe/Procedures
I first cleaned my beef twice with water and salt to get rid of any bacteria before putting it in a pot. I added Maggie, some thyme, chopped onions, and a glass of water to the meat to steam.
After steaming the beef, I then put 2 medium-sized tomatoes, a cup of rice, and around 3 glasses of water into another pot and set it on the gas to per boil for about 10 minutes.
After cooking the rice, I rinsed it twice with fresh water, added around 2 glasses of water, and then placed the rice back into the pot. To prevent the rice from becoming sticky, I didn't want it to be too soft.
To give the rice its distinctive shade of yellow-green, I added my beef stock and curry to the rice, then to taste, I also added salt and two Maggie cubes. I put the cover on my pot and let the water dry.
I rinsed and cut my vegetables (carrots, onions, green peas, and green pepper) while the rice was cooking.
When the rice was done and tender, I removed it from the heat and started to fry my vegetables. I start by adding a little amount of groundnut oil to a dry, clean saucepan and waiting for it to heat up. Then I added my cut vegetables and stirred them in the heated oil. I added, little curry, my chopped meat, a Maggie cube, and salt to taste to the veggies as I stir. Five minutes of stirring later, I pour it back into the rice and thoroughly combine them.
You're all set!
