Ingredients:
Serves - 2-3
Brown Basmati rice - 1 cup (Can substitute White Rice)
Eggs - 3
Spring onions/Scallions - 2 (mandatory)
Onion - 1/2 of a big one - sliced thin ~ 1 cup
Red Bell Pepper - 1 - chopped
Soy Sauce (Low Sodium) - 2 tsp
Red chilli paste - 1 tsp (Sriracha)
Vinegar - 1 tsp
Red pepper flakes - to taste
Salt & Pepper - to taste
Oil - 2 tsp + 1 tbsp

Method:
Cook rice and spread on a plate to cool. Mix soy sauce, Red chilli paste, vinegar and red pepper flakes in a small bowl and set aside. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in high heat and fry the onions until it turns light brown. Add the Red bell pepper and cook for a couple of minutes stirring continuously. Now add the sauce and cook for a minute. Add the cooked cooled rice and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Remove to a plate. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In the same pan in medium heat, add 2 tsp of oil and pour the whisked eggs for scrambling. For anyone who is not an expert in scrambling eggs, like me, there is a fun way to do it. After adding the whisked eggs to the oil, count 5 mississippis. Use a wooden spoon and scrape the sides and bring it to the center. Count 5 missisippis again. Repeat until you get a slightly moist but fluffy scrambled eggs. Add the rice and mix well. Garnish with spring onion greens and serve hot. Some good pairing would be...
