# # # # *Instructions:*
1. *Parboil the rice*
Boil rice with bay leaves + salt for 10 mins. Donβt make it soft. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside. This stops it from getting mushy.
2. *Make the base*
Heat oil in a big pot. Fry onions till translucent. Add garlic + ginger, stir 30secs. Add thyme, curry, and a pinch of salt.
3. *Add veggies*
Toss in carrots + green beans first. Stir fry 3 mins. Add peas, corn, and both bell peppers. Fry 2 more mins. Keep it crunchy and colorful!
4. *Combine*
Add the parboiled rice. Pour in chicken stock + soy sauce. Mix gently so you donβt break the grains. Add butter on top and cover. Steam on low heat for 10-12 mins.
5. *Finish strong*
Add shredded chicken/liver. Mix one last time. Taste and adjust salt. Garnish with spring onions.
