Ingredients:

120g

5g
2 garlic cloves
6g

1 red pepper
80g
1 cup peas
120g
1 tbsp soy sauce
16g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
4 shallots
200g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Rice:
- Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
- Add the rinsed rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat, let it stand covered for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork and set it aside.
2. Prepare the Vegetables:
- While the rice is cooking, chop the onion, mince the ginger root and garlic, slice the red hot chili peppers, chop the red pepper, and slice the shallots.
3. Cook the Aromatics:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, or until it begins to soften.
- Add the minced ginger and garlic, and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the Peppers and Shallots:
- Add the sliced red hot chili peppers, chopped red pepper, and sliced shallots to the skillet.
- Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
5. Stir-Fry the Rice:
- Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Stir to combine and cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through and slightly fry.
6. Add the Peas and Soy Sauce:
- Stir in the peas and soy sauce.
- Continue to stir-fry for another 2 minutes, ensuring everything is well mixed and heated through.
7. Finish with Fresh Herbs:
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
8. Serve:
- Your Spicy Fried Rice is ready to be served! Enjoy it hot as a main dish or a tasty side.

Tips:

- Rinse the white rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent it from becoming too sticky.

- Use day-old rice for the best texture, as freshly cooked rice can be too moist and clumpy for frying.

- Adjust the number of red hot chili peppers according to your heat preference.

- Ensure all vegetables are chopped uniformly to allow even cooking.

- Use a large pan or wok to give the ingredients enough space to fry properly without steaming.

Spicy fried rice is a versatile and quick dish that's sure to satisfy any craving for heat and flavor. By following these simple steps and tips, you can easily prepare a meal that's both delicious and customizable. Perfect for any occasion, this spicy fried rice will surely become a staple in your kitchen.
