Rice is the staple food of Malaysians and for other Asian countries as well. Normally, the cooked plain rice is served with several other dishes like fried local vegetables, chicken, meat or seafood cooked in gravy or spices like curry. The rice becomes very delicious to eat when accompanied with other nice dishes.
However, if you are lazy and do not want to cook so many things, you can change the plain rice to something very tasty and delicious. Hence, I came up with this recipe called the ‘Easy Baked Cheesy Rice’.
Easy Baked Cheesy Rice
Ingredient:
4 cups of cooked rice
150 g of minced chicken meat
½ of a large onion (diced finely)
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/3 cup of seedless raisins
½ cup of orange juice
1 tablespoon of grated orange rind
1 teaspoon Maggi seasoning powder
Salt to taste
½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
Slice almonds for garnishing
Preparation:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan or wok.
- Stir fry the onion until soften and add in the minced chicken meat.
- Once the meat has brown, add in the curry powder and stir.
- Next, add in the rice and mix well. Pour in the orange juice and add the orange rind and the raisins.
- Season to taste with the seasoning powder and salt.
- Stir fry for a few more minutes and turn off the heat.
- Transfer the rice to a baking or casserole dish. Sprinkle the cheeses on top and cover with an aluminium foil.
- Baked at 375 o F for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Do not over baked as the rice will become too dry.
- Garnish with the sliced almonds on top and serve warm.
