Red Fried Rice

Ingredients:
 
3/4 cup basmati rice
2 tablespoons groundnut (peanut) oil
1 small red onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
8 ozs. cherry tomatoes, halved
2 eggs, beaten
salt and ground black pepper to taste
 

Directions:

Wash the rice several times under cold running water. Drain well. Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wok until very hot. Add the onion and red pepper and stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the cherry tomatoes and continue stir-frying for 2 minutes more. Pour in the beaten eggs all at once. Cook for 30 seconds without stirring, then stir to break up the egg as it sets.

Drain the cooked rice thoroughly. Add to the wok and toss it over the heat with the vegetables and egg mixture for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately. Yields 2 servings.
