Are you mad about peanut butter just like my sons? Doing fried rice with peanut butter sauce was in my mind after I had tried Sprouts salad with peanut butter. I have followed the same recipe but modified a little to suit the rice taste. It came out very good and perfect for kids. You can add your own mixed vegetables or whatever is available on-hand. Since it is so fast to make it is perfect for lunch box too. You can make the gravy and keep it in the the fridge the previous day too.
Ingredients:
For peanut butter sauce
Peanut butter – 2 tablespoon
Lemon Juice – 1.5 tablespoon (adjust based on sourness of the lemon)
Soya sauce – 1 tablespoon
Garlic – 1 pod ( chopped finely – I have used raw however my kids told me roasted would taste better.. do try out your preferred way)
Chilli sauce – 2 teaspoon (If you are not using Lemon reduce the spice level)
Ginger – 1 inch (chopped finely)
Chilli flakes – 1/2 teaspoon (adjust to spice level)
Coriander leaves – 1 teaspoon
Lemon Zest – 1/4 teaspoon
Sesame seeds oil – 2 teaspoon
Milk – 1/2 cup (you can add coconut milk too)
I didn’t add any salt or sugar as Peanut butter salt and sugar is good enough for me
For Rice
Cooked brown rice or white rice – 3 cup (I have used brown)
Salt to taste
White onion – 1/2 cup (chopped)
Garlic – 3 pods (finely chopped)
Spring onion – 1/4 cup Green part
Spring onion – 1 teaspoon (bottom part)
Sesame oil – 2 teaspoon
Mixed vegetables – 2 cups (Carrot, Yellow capsicum and cabbage)
