Steps for Shanghai Fried Rice

1. To begin with the chicken marination, take the chicken in a bowl. Into that add ginger garlic paste, red chilli powder, salt, cornflour and one egg white. Mix until well combined. Set aside to marinate for half an hour.

2. In a pan, heat 1 tbsp oil. Toss in the marinated chicken and sauté it on high flame for 8-10 mins.

3. To prepare the rice, take 3 tbsp oil in a kadhai. Add in chopped ginger garlic and stir around on high flame for a minute.

4. Next, add in the spring onion whites, cabbage, carrot and capsicum. Stir and fry on high flame for a minute after adding each of these ingredients. (do not over cook these vegetables. We need them to remain crunchy.)

5. Keep aside some of the sautéed chicken for garnishing. Add the rest into the vegetables and stir around for half a minute.

6. Scramble two eggs. Keeping aside some for garnishing, add the remaining into the chicken and the vegetables. Sauté them well
