Singaporean Rice

Singaporean Rice

There comes a time in year when I crave for this killer dish and that is mostly in January – I wonder why. I prefer rice over roti (loaf) both in cooking and eating plus this recipe includes pasta which is one of my favourite comfort food. The combination becomes irresistible when mixed with creamy mayo sauce and spicy cooked chicken gravy, it is a treat to your taste buds. Irrespective of the fact that it requires a little more time and effort as compared to other recipes, I enjoy preparing it invariably. Interestingly the recipe has nothing to do with or related to Singapore’ in any way. It is just a fancy name given to this aromatic and creamy fusion of elements.

Sharing the recipe with you all, please abstain from getting intimidated by the number of steps. The outcome is an incredibly delicious menu item, we always end up over eating no matter how hard we try to avoid it. You will win many hearts with this course – totally worth it! 🙂

chef-hatSide by side start making chicken gravy:

chef-hat Heat oil, add chicken and ginger garlic paste. Fry until chicken changes color.
chef-hatAdd soya sauce, vinegar, salt, red chili, black pepper and mix well.
chef-hat Pour in hot sauce, ketchup and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Add some water to get the desired consistency. (should not be too runny nor dry)
chef-hat Transfer it to a dish.

chef-hat Meanwhile when spaghetti are done, boil rice with salt and strain them.

chef-hat Time to cook stir fry veggies and spaghetti:

chef-hatAdd oil in the same pan and all vegetables except green onion’s green parts.
chef-hatAdd soya sauce, salt, black pepper, red chili and stir fry for 1-2 mins.
chef-hatToss in boiled spaghetti and green onions’ green.
chef-hatMix well and set aside.

chef-hatMix all Mayo sauce ingredients. Set aside

chef-hatNow that we are done with the cooking part, lets assemble the product:

chef-hatAnd third layer of chicken gravy.
chef-hatAdd mayo sauce on top.
chef-hatGarnish with some green onion’s chopped green part.

chef-hatServe.

MY TWO CENTS:

chef-hatAdjust the spice level to suit your taste buds.
chef-hatYou can use your food processor to do the daunting task of cutting and chopping (it saves time), overall time to complete the dish will decrease drastically. I do it often 🙂
chef-hatYou can add subtract veggies as per availability.
chef-hatYou can use Chili sauce or Sriracha sauce in place of hot sauce.

Hope you’ll enjoy trying it out.
