Fried rice has to be amongst the boys favourite dish. Sometimes I serve it up alone other times its a side…depends how orgainised I am. This isnt traditional by any means and using day old rice I think works best.
Deb’s Fried Rice.
What you will need:
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups of cooked rice (day old is best I think)
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 bacon rashers, chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and grated
- 2 shallots, trimmed, finely sliced
- 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce, plus extra to serve
How to:
- Using a whisk, lightly beat eggs in a small bowl. Heat oil in non-stick wok or large frying pan over medium heat. Add eggs. Swirl over base to form an omelette. Cook 2 minutes. Turn over. Cook 2 minutes until set. Transfer to a chopping board. Set aside to cool slightly. Cut into short strips.
- Add bacon to wok. Cook 4 minutes until light golden. Add carrot. Stir fry 1 minute. Add shallots, peas and rice. Cook, stirring, 3-4 minutes. Add egg and soy sauce. Stir until heated through. Serve immediately, with extra soy.
You can add any vegetables, prawns and chicken. Yum.
Enjoy,
XX Deb
