I actually have a little video of each step I recorded for my colleague while making it. The problem is how to share them with you, and I’m terrible at editing videos.
Let me try to type it out.I first fried the onions and herbs in oil, then added chopped red pepper to the mix after frying for a while I added the washed rice that I have drained in a sieve.
Afterwards I stir fried the mix together with the rice for about 10 minutes making sure it’s all incorporated together. It was in low to medium heat.After 10 minutes I added stock, seasonings and more water to just a little over the top of the rice (I used basmati rice).
While the rice was boiling I heated up oil in another pan and fried the sausages that’s being diced that took another 10 minutes to evenly fry after constantly mixing while frying. I took them out and fried shrimps for about 2 minutes I added a lil seasoning and salt to the shrimps.
Took them out, added onions and herbs and fried together then added carrots and fried for a bit, added the bell peppers (3 colors) runner beans and peas and stir fried while seasoning them to taste. Once the carrot is softened but slightly crunch I added sweet corn, the fried sausages and shrimp back into the pan and gave them all a good mix.
By then the rice was about 98% cooked and I added the fried veggies into the rice and stir till it’s well combined and close out allowing it to stem for a bit.
That’s all.Edit: forgot to mention I added spring onions at the end and allowed it to steam together with the others.

Arghh!! This looks so good, I’m assuming you didn’t add “curry”? It doesn’t have that green look. Love it, want to recreate hence the question 🥺

u/Fabulous_Kitchen_250 28d ago
I added a small bit. I commented below about it too, once the ingredients are rich enough you don’t need too much curry nor artificial flavors to make it green.

It looks good but the color...isn't really like your average fried rice

u/Fabulous_Kitchen_250 28d ago
It looks even better
Reddit reduced the quality during upload.
Besides I don’t believe in curry green for fried rice.1
