Raisin & Dried Mango Rice

This dish is inspired by a recipe in last month's Women's Weekly magazine. The original recipe is supposed to be cooking the rice with the ingredients, but I change d it to a fried rice version since I have some leftover rice to get rid of.

I used 7D dried mango slices because that is the best for me at least. The original uses golden raisins but I just replaced it with what I have.

Hi Zu, I'm new to your blog n love it so much. By the way if I use cook rice will it be very wet and soggy type? M I able to use uncook rice but how to do? Thanks

hi beancurd,

Welcome to my humble blog :)

If using cooked rice, it will not be soggy. It will be like any other fried rice.

To use uncooked rice, you will need to make slight modification. You will have to fry the spices till fragrant then add the washed rice and make sure the rice is coated with oil. Omit the fish/meat slices and replace the stock cube with equal or slight more chicken stock (liquid). For eg. if using 2 cups rice, you will need to use about 2 to 2.5 cups stock. You may want to up the quantity of the spices alittle too.

HTH

That's a really enticing rice! Is it alright if we use fresh mangoes?
