- Stir in 2 chopped spring onions and 1/2 of a thinly sliced capsicum. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables become slightly tender.
- Add 1 chopped carrot and 1/2 cup of thinly sliced cabbage. Continue stir-frying for a few more minutes until the vegetables are cooked but still crisp.
- Mix in 1 big tablespoon of Schezwan chutney, 1 small tablespoon of soya sauce, and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. Ensure that the sauces are well combined with the vegetables.
- Now, add the 2 bowls of cooked rice to the pan and gently mix it with the vegetable and sauce mixture, ensuring the rice is thoroughly coated with the sauces.
- Season with 1/2 tablespoon of black pepper and 1/2 tablespoon of salt, adjusting the seasoning according to your taste.
