Red Fried Rice

 

3/4 cup basmati rice

2 tablespoons groundnut (peanut) oil

1 small red onion, chopped

1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

8 ozs. cherry tomatoes, halved

2 eggs, beaten

salt and ground black pepper to taste

 

Wash the rice several times under cold running water. Drain well. Bring a large

pan of water to the boil. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile,

heat the oil in a wok until very hot. Add the onion and red pepper and stir-fry

for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the cherry tomatoes and continue stir-frying for 2 minutes more. Pour in the

beaten eggs all at once. Cook for 30 seconds without stirring, then stir to

break up the egg as it sets.

Drain the cooked rice thoroughly. Add to the wok and toss it over the heat with

the vegetables and egg mixture for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and

serve immediately. Yields 2 servings.
