Wash rice till the water runs clear. Soak it for at least 10 mins and cook in lot of water with little oil. Drain off the rice to a colander. Cool it.

Heat a wok with oil on the highest flame, add chopped garlic sauté till they get fried slightly. Add whole spices as they lend a wonderful flavour.

Add all the chopped veggies and fry for a min or two. (If you like very crunchy bell peppers add it)

Add vinegar, soya sauce and salt. Add rice and pepper. Mix well.

Garnish well and serve hot.
