Prawns Fried Rice (or) Chicken Fried Rice

Method:  Put the cleaned prawns(500gms raw) or chicken (200 gms) in boiling water.  Let it boil for 8 to 10 minutes.  Drain the water and keep it aside. 

Take 2 cups (2 azhaku) of rice (for 3 to 4 persons), cook the rice by adding one spoon of oil into it, and keep it aside.

Heat oil in a wide skillet/kadai at a very low heat. Add chopped garlic (one tablespoon) and chopped ginger(one tablespoon) and fry for 30 seconds taking care not to brown it.  Add 2 small sized chopped onions (or) spring onions and saute it for 10 minutes in low flame.  Add 3 eggs onto the vessel and don't stir the egg too much.  Stir the eggs slowly as it should form small pieces sticking to the onions.   Add Prawns (or) chicken pieces, bring the kadai to full heat, and stir rapidly for 30 seconds. Add a little of spring onions, cabbage and  stir everything togetherfor 5 minutes on medium flame (skip this step if you don't have spring onions and cabbage).  Low the flame and make the centre of the pan empty, by pushing the content to the sides of the pan.  In the center of the pan add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and chilli sauce (or) tomato sauce (as per your liking) and one table spoon of water onto the sauce.  Stir for 20 seconds and add cooked rice onto it and stir-fry for another 3 minutes on medium flame.  Add White/Black pepper and Aji no moto and stir-fry for another 3 minutes. Fried rice is a complete meal by itself.  Eat well and Live well.
