Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Rice

   Wash 2 cups of Basmati rice 5-6 times until the water runs clear. Soak the washed rice for 40 minutes. In a pot, boil water and add 1 tbsp of salt. Add the soaked rice to the boiling water and boil for 5 minutes until fully cooked. Strain the boiled rice and let it sit in the strainer for 10 minutes to drain excess water. Transfer the boiled rice to a separate large dish to cool down.

2. 2.Prepare Scrambled Eggs

   In a bowl, crack 4 eggs. Add a little bit of salt, a little bit of ground black pepper, and a little bit of yellow food colouring (optional). Mix the eggs well. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan. Pour the mixed eggs into the hot oil and cook, scrambling them until fully cooked. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a separate bowl and set aside for later use.

3. 3.Prepare Chicken and Vegetables

   Cut 1/2 kg boneless chicken into long strips. Heat 4 tbsp of oil in a wok. Add 1 tbsp of chopped garlic and cook until it turns a light pink colour. Add the cut chicken to the wok and cook on high heat for 5 minutes until its color changes. Add 1 bowl of finely chopped carrots and mix. Add a little water to help cook the carrots and chicken. Cover and cook until the water evaporates and carrots are slightly tender. Add 1 bowl of chopped cabbage and mix, cooking on high heat. Add the white parts of the chopped green onions. Add 1 bowl of chopped green bell peppers. Add 1 bowl each of chopped red and yellow bell peppers (optional). Add 1/2 tbsp of salt (adjust as sauces contain salt) and 1/2 tbsp of ground black pepper. Mix well. Add 1 tbsp of dark soy sauce, 1 tbsp of hot chilli sauce, 1/2 tbsp of oyster sauce, and 1/2 tbsp of vinegar. Mix everything thoroughly. Cook the vegetables and chicken without covering until they are cooked but still slightly crisp. Remove half of the cooked chicken and vegetables from the wok and set aside.

4. 4.Assemble and Finish Fried Rice

   Add half of the boiled rice on top of the remaining chicken and vegetables in the wok. Sprinkle chopped green onions (green parts) over the rice. Add the reserved cooked chicken and vegetables on top of the rice. Add half of the cooked scrambled eggs. Add the remaining boiled rice. Add the remaining cooked scrambled eggs. Drizzle dark soy sauce and hot chilli sauce over the top layer. Add the remaining chopped green onions. Gently mix all the ingredients in the wok until well combined. Add black pepper and a little bit of salt to taste. Cover the wok and cook on low heat for 10 minutes for steaming. After 10 minutes, uncover and mix the fried rice. Turn off the heat and leave the fried rice uncovered for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, cover the fried rice again. Serve the chicken fried rice in a dish.
