Egg fried rice with prawns, peas and ham
Background
Egg-fried rice is one of the basic and essential dishes in a Chinese menu. This egg fried rice with prawns, peas and ham is a special version which can be served as part of a meal, or it's ideal for parties. Quite honestly this dish is so filling that you could have it as your main (perhaps with some salad on the side) for a midweek supper or a lazy weekend lunch!
Ingredients
- 250g Thai fragrant rice
- 2 eggs
- 200g cooked ham
- 1 medium onion
- 50g green peas
- 4 spring onions
- 200g ready cooked & peeled prawns/shrimps
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp groundnut/peanut oil
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to packet instructions and let it cool.
- Beat the eggs with salt and pepper. Cut the ham into 5mm wide strips. Slice the spring onions diagonally, and finely chop the onion.
- Heat 1 Tbsp oil in the wok over high heat, tilting the wok to coat the sides with oil. When it's piping hot, pour in the egg, again tilting the wok around to allow the egg spread evenly. Then, using a wooden spoon or chopsticks, keep pulling the egg into the middle of the wok. Transfer the scrambled egg to a plate.
- Clean the wok out with kitchen paper.
- Add the remaining oil and heat in the wok. When hot, stir-fry the onion until glossy then add the ham. Stir-fry for a minute then add the rice and peas. Stir-fry for 3 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce, spring onions, egg and shrimps. Warm through for a couple of minutes.
- Serve hot.
Tips
The recipe is ideal to use up leftover cooked rice (but make sure it was kept chilled before re-cooking!)Categories
