-
-
🌟 Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns transparent, releasing its sweet aroma.
-
🌟 Toss in the finely diced carrots, green capsicum, crunchy celery, vibrant spring onions, and sliced mushrooms, if you fancy some earthy flavors.
-
🌟 Stir-fry this colorful medley for a couple of minutes until they begin to take on a delightful golden hue, infusing the kitchen with their enticing fragrance.
-
🌟 Once they are tender-crisp and slightly caramelized, transfer this veggie symphony to a plate or bowl, setting it aside for the grand assembly later.
-
🌟 Now, it’s time to introduce the stars of our dish – the succulent chicken breast and the plump, juicy shrimp.
-
🌟 In the same pan, pour a little more oil, just enough to coat the surface like a glistening veil.
-
🌟 Add the minced garlic, letting it sizzle and perfume the oil with its garlicky essence, creating a mouthwatering foundation for the rice.
-
🌟 Once the garlic turns a tantalizing golden brown, scoop it out of the pan, setting it aside with the veggies.
-
🌟 Now, the stage is set for the main act – the basmati rice. With a gentle sizzle, let the rice dance in the fragrant oil, toasting and releasing its nutty aroma.
-
🌟 Stir the rice continuously, ensuring each grain is coated in that aromatic garlic-infused oil, creating a canvas for the flavors to come.
-
🌟 Add back the sautéed vegetables, along with the tender chicken and the juicy shrimp, bringing together this symphony of textures and tastes.
-
🌟 Pour in the homemade chicken stock, allowing the rice to absorb its savory essence, each grain plumping up with flavor.
-
🌟 As the rice simmers away, absorbing all the goodness, it’s time to add the sauces that will elevate this dish to new heights.
-
🌟 Splash in the soy sauce for that umami richness, the tangy chili sauce for a hint of heat, the bright vinegar for a touch of acidity, and the classic Worcestershire sauce for its deep, savory notes.
-
🌟 Sprinkle in the ajinomoto for that extra burst of flavor, a pinch of salt to balance the tastes, and toss in the thinly sliced onions for a sweet crunch.
-
🌟 Crank up the heat, and with a flurry of stirring, let the rice and all its flavorful companions come together in a symphony of sizzles and aromas.
-
🌟 Cook it all together for a final 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and mingle, creating a dish that’s not just a meal but an experience.
