Fried rice with chicken

4/27/2020

In these days where we spend a large amount of time in the kitchen, we sometimes find it difficult to renew ourselves in our menus and we are looking for new inspiration.
I love discovering new flavours, new ingredients, new vegetables to influence my day-to-day cooking. 
Ginger, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, pink peppercorns among many others... are flavours and spices that I have discovered through my various encounters and travels. I have also learned combinations of foods that I would not have imagined to use but which have become a classic at home: rice and lentils did not mix in French cuisine!!! (the combination is very interesting from a nutritional point of view because vegetable proteins become complete and contain all the amino acids by combining them with cereals).

In order to awaken my taste buds and imagination, I have asked friends or acquaintances I met during my years abroad to take us on a trip with them and discover some of their recipes.
Today my guest is Létichia.
Letichia is a friend from Mauritius of Chinese origin who is very passionate and talented with cooking. We have known each other for 16 years. I have accompanied and encouraged her in her passion for cooking, she has introduced me to Creole cuisine, with the different spices, its vegetables........... and I am grateful.

My request was to make us discover a dish that is easy to prepare with ingredients readily available, gluten-free and lactose-free.
She proposed to prepare a fried rice with chicken and its tomato "rougail".
This dish shows a mixture of Creole cuisine and Asian influence present in Mauritian cuisine.
