HOW TO MAKE SHAWARMA RICE

Steps:

• Pour a little oil unto the pan and sauté the cabbage and the carrots with the onion and garlic in not less than 30 seconds.
• Add the rice and then the soy sauce. Just pour only 1/4 cup on the rice.
• Then, mix it well so that the rice would turn to light brown not black because if it's black the soy sauce you added is too much. If you think the rice is not having the right color, add little by little then mix until the color is correct.
• Reduce a little heat (a little bigger fire than low).
• Add the cooked meat of your choice. Make sure that it is flaked.
• Mix frequently so that the heat would be even.
• Add the salt and seasonings.
• Add the sandwich spread.
• Mix, mix, mix.
• Get a spoon and try the rice shawarma if it's right on your taste.
• If it's to your liking, serve it and enjoy!
