Ingredients

6 tablespoons to 7 chicken stock

2 tablespoons heavy cream

1 teaspoon corn flour, diluted with a little water

2 inches rice bowls cooked rice (best if it's overnight rice kept

Carrots, sliced thinly

Honey baked ham, shredded (or any other ingredient you like)

A knob of butter

3 garlic cloves, minced

Grated cheddar and mozzarella

Grated parmesan

Preparation

In a saucepan, bring chicken stock and heavy cream to a boil. Add corn starch liquid. Stir till the mixture thickens. Set aside.

In a skillet or wok, melt some butter. Fry the garlic till fragrant. Add carrots and fry over a low flame till semi-cooked. Add ham. Add rice. Keep frying and tossing. Break up all lumps.

Pour butter fried rice into a casserole dish. Pour chicken stock mixture over. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Top with grated cheddar and mozzarella. Add a generous layer!

Bake in a pre-heated oven for 8 to 10mins, at 200 degrees celsius or until the cheese browns to a golden crust. This will happen very quickly, so keep your eyes on the dish. Serve piping hot.
