For the rice:

Cook basmathi rice with a piece of pandan, a teaspoon of coconut milk powder, a pinch of turmeric, and salt to taste.


To fry:

Then add the soy sauce and chillie paste and continue to fry for one minute.


Meanwhile, beat the egg with milk, salt, pepper, and stock powder.

Turn off the heat and add the egg mixture to the fried veggies and sausages, stirring to make a sort of soft scramble.
