Julliano Vegetables Fried Rice


There are so many ways to make rice with the vegetables. This one is Chinese type of rice with Julliano fried vegetables. The secret is to very shortly fry veggies in the wok on the high flame, so that they don't loose the color and stay crispy. In this recipe I use carrot, baby peace, celery stick and root, fresh ginger and tofu, all chopped tin and long, fry them on sesame oil with little bit of asafoetida for apx five minutes. Basmati rice is fried separately with musterd seeds and turmeric powder, then cooked in the double quantity of water until water is absorbed. Then rice and vegetables should be mixed carefully, seasoned with tamari or shoyu sauce on the end. Should be served hot, decorated with fresh coriander leaves.

Cooking Presentation in Ljubljana, Slovenia

Last year I had an interesting cooking presentation in Health Food Store at City center in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The presentation was a part of my tour with Slovenian EU European Voluntary Service Project "Food for Life", for which I work as an active member, and which is serving only pure vegetarian meals. I was engaged to cook for children at kindergarten and for VIP persons like Japanese ambassador. On this presentation I was cooking in public and presenting healthy ingredients like miso, shoyu, moong dhal, basmati brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, tofu, sprouts, organic fruits and vegetables. I was explaining what are the benefits for our health if we use these type of ingredients for our everyday cooking, then I was showing how easy the process of preparing and cooking is, and people could taste the final result on the end of presentation.
