Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup uncooked (160 g) basmati rice
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1/2 onion
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt

How to make it, step by step

  1. Cook the basmati rice and let it cool (day-old rice is ideal). Dice the onion, carrot, and green bell pepper small.
  2. Heat a large skillet or wok with the olive oil over high heat. Stir-fry the onion, carrot, and bell pepper for 3 minutes.
  3. Add the cooked rice and stir-fry 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly so it toasts slightly.
  4. Make a well in the center, add the beaten eggs, and stir until set.
  5. Mix everything together, adjust the salt, and serve.
