Scorched rice with vegetable cooked by Remie

Part 1: The scorched rice

Ok, usually my family buy the readymade from groceries. But I haven’t found it in Melbourne Asian groceries yet. So, I have found a youtube video in English that teaches you to make the scorched rice. You can follow this video.

Use Arborio rice to make scorched rice.

2. Add in mushroom, black fungus, celery and carrot. Stir till they are half-cooked, add salt. Keep stirring to mix well
3. Add vegetable stock till the stock covers all vegetables. 
4. When it is boiled, add in tomato sauce and sugar. Stir to mix well.
5. Cook for few minutes and give it a taste. adjust salt input. *if it’s too salty, you can add more stock. But keep it in mind, this vegetable sauce shouldn’t be too dry and too wet.*
6. When it is done, add some pepper as you like. Transfer it into a bowl and set aside.
7. Use a sauce pan, add enough oil to fry the scorched rice that you have made before.
8. When the scorched rice turns golden colour, take them into a plate.
9. Pour the vegetable sauce into the hot fried scorched rice. While you are pouring, you should hear loud sizzling sound. A every exciting moment!!
