Ingrediens:

1 cup of Basmati rice
Vegetable oil
1 Fresh Garlic (Chopped)
1/2 Fresh Ginger (Chopped)
1 Egg
1 Onions
Soy Sauce (1 Table spoon)
Dry pepper
1 Plantain
Salt
2 Cubes Maggie

Directions:
Firstly, wash the rice, bring it to boil (for about 20 mins) make sure it is cooked. When the water has almost gone dry bring it down. Then if you have a wok good for you but i used a frying pan. Heat the vegetable oil in the pan, when heated add the fresh garlic, ginger and some onions. Cook for about 15sec then add salt,maggie and pepper, stir then add the rice stir fry for about 2 min (what i did was to use another frying pan for the egg). Heat the vegetable oil in the extra pan, pour the egg into the pan with some onions, then start stirring (like scramble egg). Optional you can use peas, green beans or carrot but i choose not to use then this time. Finally add the egg to the rice and begin to stir, add soy sauce stir and your done.

For the Plantain
Peel the plantain, cut it in what ever shape you want. Heat the vegetable oil in the frying pan, add some salt (little) to the plantain for taste then fry until golden brown. Serve with Egg fried rice my version. Enjoy
