Confetti Fried Rice

This is a quick fried rice. You can use this method and adjust to your taste. I used all fresh veggies this time. But I have used frozen mixed veggies (peas carrots, green beans etc..) in this dish as well.

** To make it a one pot meal you can add ground lean meat and fry it before adding the veggies or you add eggs.




Chop:
1 onion (not pictured)
1 bunch green onions

Grate:
3 large carrots
1 tbs grated ginger
1 tbs grated garlic



Cook rice and have it waiting. I added chicken broth instead of water when I cooked the rice in my rice cooker. I also used a brown basmati rice. You can use any fluffy kind of rice you want. I do recommend the basmati variety because of it's nutty flavor. I will use about 8-10 cups of cooked rice in the fried rice.




Heat 1tbs of oil and 1tbs of butter.

Add:
cinnamon stick
curry leaves- available in Indian/Asian Markets
3-4 cardamom pods
3-4 cloves

Note:
If I ever use cardamom, cloves or cinnamon sticks make sure you discard these items before eating or avoid eating them. They are very strong tasting and are used just to flavor the food, but not so nice if you eat them alone. The curry leaves can be eaten... they are tasty. : )




 Add: All the vegetables and garlic/ginger and saute'. 





Add: 1/2 tsp of turmeric and salt. Saute' until veggies are tender.




Add cooked rice and incorporate well. Check for salt.  Serves 4-6 people as a main dish.
