Fried Rice With Soybeans
Have you ever tried fried rice? Fried rice or rice cooked using the stir-frying method with various vegetables. In Indonesia, fried rice is a national food which seems to be a favorite of most Indonesian people. That's because our staple food is rice.
Well, there are lots of variations of fried rice which I have often posted on my Hive Blog. So, what other variations will I show you this time?
Indeed, I often cook from ingredients available in my kitchen. For now, I often look at the supplies in my garden that are ready to harvest. This time, I had some soybeans left over from making soy milk yesterday.
I also thought about adding soy beans to my dinner menu, for protein intake. Soy beans are high in protein, and are also good for keeping cholesterol stable.
I have a few more pieces of chili in my garden. So, I will cook a fried rice menu with a combination of soy beans. For veggie, I use cabbage and spring onion. You can add other vegetables such as carrots and peas.
How to make fried rice is very easy. We only need cooked rice, and some additional ingredients that we like as filling.
PROCESSING SOY BEANS
Before making this recipe, indeed, the rest of my soy beans were soaked first. So, we need to soak the soy beans first before adding soy beans to cooking, especially adding soy beans to fried rice.
This is to make the texture of the soy beans softer. Apart from that, the process of soaking the soy beans will make the outer skin of the soy beans easy to remove.
It's just that it's a bit of a tedious job and requires strong will. It's about removing all the skins from the soy beans. lol. After soaking overnight, remove or peel the skins of the soy beans. It takes a lot of patience to do this.

- 150 grams of rice, cooked

SERVING
I served fried rice with cucumber garnishes which are shaped like flowers. In Indonesia, we serve fried rice with cucumber, also tomatoes and crackers. However, this time I only had cucumber as a complement. No problem.
I smiled when I ate this menu. As it turns out, this combination is successful. I like using soy beans for rice filling. Just, you need to pay attention, don't add too many soy beans or it will make you tired of chewing them ehehe.
Well, I love this new variation and will try in the next season again if I have a supply of soy beans. See you on my next recipe.
