ClassicSideQuickRisotto4

This egg fried rice is light, savoury and full of aromatic flavour from garlic, ginger and spring onions.

Serve it as a side dish alongside your main, from stir-fried vegetables to grilled chicken, prawns or beef.

Method

10m10m20m
  1. Break up any clumps in the cold rice so the grains are separate.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil in a large wok or frying pan over high heat.
  3. Add the beaten eggs and scramble quickly until just set, then transfer to a plate.
  4. Add the remaining oil, then fry the garlic and ginger for 20–30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the rice and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes, tossing to heat it through.
  6. Stir in the peas and most of the spring onions, then cook for 1 minute.
  7. Return the egg to the pan and break it into bite-size pieces.
  8. Add soy sauce and sesame oil, tossing well to coat evenly.
  9. Season with black pepper and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.
  10. Serve hot as a side dish, topped with the remaining spring onions.

Ingredients

  • 600g Cooked Jasmine Rice cold
  • 80g Frozen Peas thawed
  • Black Pepper freshly ground, to taste
  • 2 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1 tsp Fresh Ginger finely grated
  • 3 Eggs beaten
  • 4 Spring onions finely sliced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp Sunflower Oil

Notes

Use cold day-old rice for the best texture and to avoid clumping.

Keep the heat high so the rice fries quickly rather than steaming.

Add a squeeze of lime or a little chilli oil at the table for extra punch.
