Chinese stir fried vegetables with Rice

Chinese stir fried vegetables with Rice

Serves: 2 persons

Ingredients:
::::Rice::::
¾ cup Basmati Rice
1½ to 2 cup water
Salt to taste
1 tsp Oil
::::Vegetables::::
1½ to 1 ¾ cup mix vegetables (Carrot, Onion, Bell Pepper, Baby Corn, Cauliflower etc.)
I had used following vegetables:
½ cup Bell Pepper, sliced Lengthwise
¼ cup Baby Corn (1/2 inch pieces)
¼ cup Cauliflower (small florets)
¼ cup Carrots, thinly sliced (1 inch pieces)
6 to 7 thin slices of Potato (peeled)
¼ cup Onion, sliced lengthwise
--
1 ½ tbsp Soy sauce
2 tsp Vinegar
1 tbsp Cornstarch / Corn Flour
1 tsp Chili Sauce
1 tsp Ginger Paste
½ tsp Garlic Paste
2 dried red Chilies
1 tsp Oil
Sugar, Salt and Pepper to taste


Method:
1) Wash Rice with water and drain. Keep aside for half an hour. Then take a deep pan to cook rice. Add washed rice and water. Put in Oil and salt to taste. Give a stir and let the rice cook on medium heat. Do not cover with lid. Otherwise, rice could become sticky.
2) In a saucepan, boil 2 cups of water. Add Baby corn, Carrot, Cauliflower and potato slices and parboil these vegetables. Once vegetables are half cooked, drain the remaining water and reserve ½ to ¾ cup water for later use.
3) Heat a wok or any nonstick saucepan. Add oil and let it become hot. Then add Ginger-Garlic paste. Put in Red chilies and sauté for few seconds. Add onion and sauté for around 40 seconds. Do not cook Onion completely.
4) Then add Bell pepper fry for a minute. Add half-cooked vegetables and mix well. Also add Soy Sauce, Vinegar and Chili Sauce, give a nice stir.
5) Mix the reserved water and Corn flour together, and add it to fried vegetables. This will help to form nice thick gravy to stir fried vegetables. Then add salt, sugar and pepper to taste. Mix well
Serve hot with Basmati Rice. In addition, serve Sichuan Sauce along with Stir-fried Vegetables

Note:
1) If you are a fan of Tofu, add some while cooking.
