Notes

• Serves 2
• Cabbage and capsicum should be crisp but cooked… hence adding all of it at the same time and it will cook in jiffy over high flame.
• Cooking cabbage for long time will make them smell bad… so keeping them crunchy is the key here in this dish.
• Rice has to be slightly cold… when stir frying that way they don’t break or over cook.
• No soy sauce needed. You may add a tiny drop of vinegar or rice wine to make it more tasty.
• You can try variations.. add in any veggie combo.
