👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Rice

Rinse the basmati rice until the water runs clear.
Soak for 30 minutes.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and bay leaves.
Add the soaked rice and cook on medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until just tender.

Drain well and set aside. The grains should be fluffy and separate.


2️⃣ Sauté the Vegetables

Heat oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and sauté until soft.

Stir in garlic and ginger. Cook until fragrant.

Add carrots, bell peppers, and cabbage.
Season with paprika, dried parsley, vegetable bouillon, black pepper, and salt.

Mix well so the vegetables are evenly coated with the spices.



3️⃣ Combine Everything

Add half of the cooked rice to the pan.
Pour in the Sriracha sauce and gently mix.

Add green onions and fresh coriander.
Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.

Serve warm and enjoy!
