Home made Nasi goreng (kinda like a stir fry rice)

This recipe is for 4-5 persons

to make the Rice:
2 cups basmati rice
2 chicken cubes or 3 teaspoons of Chicken both base(loose powder)mixed into 4 cups of water
2 tablespoons oil

3 or 4 chicken breasts cut into small 1/2 inch pieces
4 to 5 Yellow,Red and Green Peppers
2 onions chopped
2 carrots grated or chopped length-wise(1/2 inch)
1/4 cabbage cut up finely
2 or 3 teaspoons of soy sauce
4 teaspoons ketchup
3 teaspoons chopped garlic
2 teaspoons chilli powder
3 teaspoons chillie pieces
salt and pepper to taste
oil and butter -3 Tablespoons oil and a tablespoon of butter(Or less if you prefer)
4 fried eggs

To make the rice:
Heat oil in medium-high fire in a 4 quart pan. once heated put the rice into it and let it fry. keep stirring. after about 3 or 4 minutes add 4 cups of water and the cubes in. stir and make sure the cubes are dissolved.
Once most of the water evaporates reduce heat to low and place a cover on and let it on for about 15 mins. To check if it's cooked, take a fork and check it. keep aside.

Heat a wok with oil and/or butter depending on how much you want to add. once heated add the chicken pieces and let it fry and cook. when chicken is almost done add onions and garlic and let it blend and fry together. then add peppers,carrots and cabbage and let it all fry and cook. Add soy sauce, salt and pepper. Let it cook. Then add the chillie pieces and powder and ketchup. Once all cooked add the rice and mix it all up well.
Serve in plates and place the eggs on top of the rice.

You can eat it with a cucumber salad on the side and garnish with parsley leaves and green onions.

Note- This is a bit spicy so you can reduce the chillie and add different spices that you like and make it your own.
