Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Wash and cook the rice whilst preparing the veggies as below.
Skin the onions and garlic and chop fine.
Prepare other vegetables in the usual way discarding skin, pith, roots, etc.
De frost any frozen veggies by covering them with boiling water in a bowl.
Hard veggies (carrots, turnips, etc), need to be cut into fine slices, or into pea-sized pieces (or use bite sized pieces and cook them with the rice).
Wash and chop the herbs.
Cooking
Heat a little sunflower oil in a wok and stir fry the hard vegetables plus onions and garlic until the onions are translucent and the vegetables are softening (5 to 7 minutes).
Add the the softer vegetables (capsicum, leeks, spring onions, etc.) and stir fry for 5 minutes.
Drain the cooked rice and add to the wok.
Drain and add any frozen vegetables and add the herbs.
Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.

Once heated through turn out into a warmed serving dish.
