Rinse the rice well, then cook it with the Maggi cubes and the usual amount of water for your rice type. Cook until just tender, not overly soft, because the rice will be fried later. Spread the cooked rice out and let it cool slightly while you prepare the vegetables.



Thinly slice the cabbage, chop the chilies, dice the onions and green bell pepper, and julienne or chop the carrots. Add the cabbage and chilies to a wok or large skillet with 1/4 cup water, a little salt, and black pepper. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, until the cabbage starts to soften.


Uncover the wok, reduce the heat to medium, and continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and lightly browned in spots. Add the diced onions and cook until they begin to soften and turn lightly golden.

Add the green bell pepper, carrots, and sesame oil. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, just until the vegetables are bright and slightly tender but still have some bite.


Sprinkle in the ginger powder and turmeric, then stir well so the spices coat the vegetables and bloom in the oil for about 30 seconds.



Add the cooked rice and soy sauce. Toss and stir-fry until the rice is evenly coated, heated through, and well mixed with the vegetables, about 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust with more pepper or a small splash of soy sauce if needed, then serve hot.
