Step-by-step Guide
Preparation
- Rinse the rice several times until it loses its starch. Repeat this process approximately 5 times to ensure it is clean.
- Cook the rice for 12 minutes in boiling water. Make sure the water completely covers the rice.
- Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and pepper. Ensure they are of uniform size to guarantee even cooking.
- Heat the wok on high temperature. Sauté the chopped onion and pepper for 3 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the wok and let them cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring gently to prevent them from disintegrating.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the wok all at once and let them cook for 30 seconds. Then, stir quickly so the eggs distribute and set evenly with the vegetables.
- Drain the boiled rice and immediately add it to the wok with the vegetables and eggs.
- Stir continuously for 3 minutes to ensure the rice mixes well with the vegetables and eggs, and absorbs the flavors.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately to maintain freshness and texture.
Recommendations & Tricks
- Note: The measurements are for 2 servings, but if more servings are needed, increase the ingredients proportionally.
- Note: Choose the vegetables you like best; zucchini, carrot, or pumpkin make fantastic substitutes. Any long grain rice, such as jasmine, also works well.
- Ingredients for 2 people:
- 145 g of basmati rice
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 225 g of cherry tomatoes, halved
- Rinse the rice under running water until the water runs clear, approximately 5 times, to remove excess starch and improve the final texture.
- Cook the rice for 12 minutes in boiling water with a teaspoon of salt; then drain it and let it rest covered to finish steaming.
- While the rice is cooking, finely chop a medium onion and dice the red bell pepper to ensure even cooking.
- Heat the wok or a large pan over high temperature and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper for 3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning and until they are tender.
