Egg fried rice
Ingredients: (serves 4)
• Approximately 900 grams of cooked long grain rice (this equals approximately 300 grams of uncooked rice, brown or white is great)
• 3 tablespoons of oil (vegetable, coconut or sesame will all work well)
• 4 large free-range eggs, beaten
• 2 onions, finely chopped (red or white)
• 1 red pepper, chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped
• A thumb size piece of ginger, peeled and grated (Use a teaspoon of dried ginger if that is what you have)
• 4 spring onions, sliced
• 100 grams of frozen peas, defrosted (optional)
• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
Method:
1. Heat the oil in a frying pan or wok over a medium heat.
2. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the pan over a high heat. Add the onion and peppers. Fry for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and ginger, if using, and fry for a further minute.
3. Reduce the heat to medium, add the cooked rice, eggs, spring onions, peas and soy sauce.
4. Toss together so the eggs see the bottom of the pan and cook for 4–5 minutes, or until heated through.
