Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients for 6 Servings
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 300 g (10.6 oz) pork neck
- 6 quail eggs
- 6 cherry tomatoes
- 2 red bell peppers
- 1 carrot
- 1 onion
- 150 g (5.3 oz) mushrooms
- 2 sprigs parsley
- 3 tbsp soy sauce “Classic”
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- Salt, pepper
Directions
Prepare Vegetables and Meat:
Peel the carrot and onion. Wash and dry the mushrooms. Cut the onion into half-rings, the carrot into thin strips, and the mushrooms into thin slices. Cut the peppers into small squares, removing the seeds. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the parsley. Cut the pork into small pieces.
Cook the Rice:
Rinse the rice well and cook until done. Add 1 tbsp soy sauce, mix, cover, and set aside.
Cook the Meat and Vegetables:
In 1 tbsp vegetable oil, fry the pork for 8 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the meat to a bowl. In the same pan, fry the bell peppers for 4 minutes, then add the tomatoes and cook for 2 more minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the meat. Add 1 tbsp oil to the pan and fry the onion and carrot for 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes.
Prepare the Omelette:
Beat the eggs. While continuing to beat, add the parsley and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Heat the remaining oil in a clean pan, pour in the egg mixture, and cook over medium heat for 7 minutes. Flip the omelette and cook for another 4 minutes. Transfer the omelette to a cutting board and let it cool. Cut into thin strips.
Combine and Serve:
In a large skillet or wok, combine the rice with the fried meat and vegetables. Pour in the remaining soy sauce, stir, and heat over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add the omelette strips just before serving.
Cook’s Tip:
If you can’t find quail eggs, chicken eggs can be used as a substitute, but quail eggs provide a richer flavor.
