   Procedure

Finely chop all the vegetables .Take oil in a wok and on high heat add garlic and chillies. Saute and before it burns add prawns and saute. Then add all the veggies one by one. Stir fry for a minute and add the stock, soy sauce and the soup cube as well. Reduce the flame and do not cover it. If you cover, the veggies will lose their colour and crunch. Cook for two minutes and add egg white by sitirring the soup with a fork as you add the egg white. Add salt only if required because the stock, soup cube and soy sauce would already have added enough salinity. Serve hot.

Arancini

This is an Italian rice ball recipe but it is easy and hassle free because you can use leftover rice .
I would’nt go for any particular measurement because it is for you to decide the size of the balls and also how much quantity of rice you have. Look for some vegetables like carrots, beans, cabbage, coriander leaves,green chillies, coloured peppers .Chop the veggies very fine and if you want to add sausages and salami,chop them really fine. Combine rice and veggies ,salt to taste, Italian spice mix and tomato sauce. Make rice balls and stuff small cheese squares in the centre. Dip them in egg batter and coat the balls with bread crumbs. Deep fry and serve with salad of your choice. Ideally mint raita or even tomato salsa really goes well. It is time to try Italian rice balls with Indian mint raita and Mexican salsa and make it an international recipe. You can make it totally vegetarian by omitting egg batter and replacing it with refined flour batter.
