Background
Egg fried rice is one of the most popular side dishes to accompany Asian mains. It’s really easy to make - takes only 5 minutes using pre-cooked or leftover rice. This is my favourite recipe - sometimes I make it with green beans or sliced cabbage or spinach.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 bunch of spring onions
- 100g green peas
- 500g cooked Thai fragrant rice
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- Slice diagonally the spring onions (green part too).
- Heat the oil in a wok.
- When the oil starts to smoke stir-fry the spring onions for a minute. Add the peas, stir-fry for another minute. Add the rice and combine.
- Make a well in the centre of the wok, pulling the rice to the side, then pour the beaten eggs in the middle. When the egg is almost set, start combining it with the rice mixture with a wooden spoon or chopsticks. You should get scrambled egg pieces.
- Add the soy sauce and sesame oil, salt & pepper and combine well.
- Serve with lime wedges.
