Singaporean Rice

Step 1: Boil Rice.. and that would be the first layer in the dish......

Step 2: Boil Noodles.... second layer....

Step 3 and 4: The mayonnaise dip and the chicken gravy... either can be put first...

Mayo Dip:

The ingredients here are for the two dishes that I made.. increase or decrease as per your need:

Mayonnaise (One cup)
Ketchup (Half Cup)
Chopped Garlic (Not paste)
crushed red pepper (1 to 2 tsp) as per your taste

Mix them all together and the dip is ready.

Chicken Gravy:

Boneless Chicken: 1 kg
Capsicum: 2-3
Carrots: 2-3
Ketchup: 2 tbsps
Soya sauce: 2 tbsps
crushed red pepper: 1 tsp
Black pepper: 1 tsp
Salt as per taste.
Cornflour: 2 tbsp

Fry boneless chicken in a pan. When almost done add the vegetables and all the spices. (Adjust spices according to your taste). Saute them well. Finally add cornflour dissolved in water into the pan. Stir and let it cook for 5 mins or so. The consistency should be of a thick gravy.

So then over the rice and noodles layer the gravy first then the dip or vice-verse. Finally garnish them with fried garlic and also green chillies if you want.
