Sauté the sliced onion, pre-seasoned with Green Onion Seasoning, in the oil and butter mixture. Add the diced potatoes and stir-fry until golden. Add tomatoes, sugar and Chilli & Garlic Seasoning.

Here is a quick tip for cooking rice the easy way:

Thermos Rice

When you boil the kettle for early morning tea, rinse out a thermos flask with boiling water. Put 1 cup (250 ml) rice, 2½ cups (625 ml) boiling water and 1 T (15 ml) Ina Paarman's Chicken or Vegetable Stock Powder in the flask. Screw on the cap. At dinner time shake out the cooked rice. Taste for seasoning. Fork some chopped parsley and 1 t (5 ml) of butter through before serving. If not hot, or not quite cooked enough, finish off in the microwave for 3 minutes on high.
