"Recipe of the Day, Week No. 53: (Vegetable Fried Rice)"

Hello chefs! It's an exciting week again and I was patiently waiting for this week's contest. I made a nice and simple recipe, which is vegetable Fried rice and it was so tasty. Vegetable Fried rice is easy to prepare, and cost effective.

I love cooking food with vegetables. Let's look at the health benefits of this food. It promotes healthy digestion and prevents constipation. It also lowers cholesterol levels. It is also a very healthy and nutritious meal. It is a good source of vitamin K, C and potassium too!

Ingredients and Method of Preparation

Rice
Bell or dried peppers
Crayfish
Vegetable oil
Fried rice spice
Vegetable leaf
Onions
Salt
Seasoning cubes
Meat or fish

Step 1
First, wash and parboil the rice

Next prepare all the ingredients to be used

Slice onions, the vegetable leafs, unwrap the rice spices and seasoning cubes, slice peppers
I decided to try the "spicity chicken and rice flavours and it came out so well'

Step 2
Next, fry the onions, peppers, seasoning cubes and the rice spices inside the vegetable oil. Later , add the beef stick or broth and then add some water to ensure that the rice will be soft enough.

Cover the pot and leave to steam for a while.
I decided to use pumpkin leaves as the vegetable. So, I sliced the pumpkin leaves and kept it aside.

Step 3
After a few minutes, add the parboiled rice inside the pot and stir lightly, cover again.
After ten minutes, add crayfish, the remaining onions and salt to taste.

Step 4
Keep checking the rice to see if the water has dried up and when it does, add the sliced pumpkin leaves and stir completely then turn off the heat.
I added the pumpkin leaves last so as to maintain that fresh taste when the rice is eaten.

Vegetable fried rice is ready to be consumed.
