Steps

45 Minutes

1

Cook the soaked rice with salt until just done (grains separate).
Drain and cool completely. Spread it out so it doesn’t become sticky.
2

Sprinkle salt on the cubed brinjal and shallow fry till soft and lightly golden. Keep aside.
3

Heat oil in a wok or pan.
Add sliced garlic and sauté till aromatic (don’t burn).
Add spring onion bulbs
Toss in the bulbs and sauté on high heat for a minute.
4

Toss in the leftover cooked corn stir fry and fried brinjal. Stir-fry on high heat.
5

Add gochujang paste and chilli oil. Mix well and cook for a few seconds
6

Add some greens of the spring onion reserving some for later use.
7

Add the cooled rice and gently mix so the grains don’t break.
Toss in some more greens of the spring onion. Give it a good stir.
8

Add salt if needed and pour in apple cider vinegar. Toss well.
9

Add spring onion greens, mix lightly, and switch off the flame.
10

Serve hot as is or pair it with a simple stir-fry or fried egg on top for a complete meal.

Tips

High heat + quick tossing is the secret to perfect fried rice. Don’t overmix — keep those grains separate!
