I had not eaten stir fried rice for awhile, so today I made stir fried rice with Lime chicken. I added loads of vegetables. Peas are good for your health as it’s packed with iron and a good source of vitamin K and antioxidant. Carrots are a good source of Vitamin A, B. C and iron and magnesium. Additionally, sweet corn is packed with vitamins and other nutrients.

How to Cook Rice
I use the absorption method to make my rice. Here is a rule of thumb for every 1 cup of rice add two cups of water.
Add the rice and the water in a pan. Bring the rice to boil and reduce the heat to low to simmer and cover. Once all the water is absorbed, use a fork to fluff it make sure it’s cooked. Put the fire off and leave the lid on the pan.
