- ¼ teaspoon soya sauce optional

To grind to a paste

Instructions
- Get your sprouts ready. Cook with little water till sprouts turns slightly soft, reserve cooked water, Set aside. Soak basmati rice for 15 minutes then pressure cook for 2 whistles in medium flame in the ratio 1(rice):1.5(water) cups. Spread it in a plate and fluff it up with a fork add a teaspoon of oil and let it cool down.
- Grind green chilies along with ginger to a coarse paste, set aside. In a pan heat oil - add garlic, green chili paste and spring onion white part sauté for a minute till it turns golden brown.
- Add cabbage and capsicum, fry till the veggies shrink and raw smell leaves. Add pepper powder soya sauce and stir well in medium high flame. Then add cooked sprouts along with reserved water and keep sauteing for 3 minutes in high flame till all the moisture is gone.
- Then add spring onions green part and mix well. Add required salt, then cooked rice and mix well. Garnish with remaining spring onions. Switch it off.
- Serve hot with your choice of side dish or any manchurian.
Notes
- I added just cabbage with sprouts and skipped other vegetables as I wanted the sprouts flavor more.
- But don't skip spring onions as it gives a good amount of Chinese flavor to the fried rice. You can add 2 tablespoon onion while sauteing the veggies.
- I used little water only to cook sprouts and used the remaining water while adding sprouts. Use freshly ground pepper for a great flavor.
- Don't over cook sprouts, it should be crunchy enough to bite. Sauteing the veggies in high flame gives a nice smoky flavor and also retains its crunchiness without the raw smell.
- I soaked basmati rice for 15 minutes then pressure cooked for 1:1.5 ratio(rice:water) for 2 whistles in medium flame.
- I don't use ajino motto, but if you prefer you can add a pinch of it at the final stage.
- Make sure to fluff the rice and spread it with little olive oil to make the grains separate. Allow it to rest at least for 30 minutes.
