How to Make Budget egg-fried rice
Preparation time:
less than 30 mins
Cooking time:
10 to 30 mins
Serves:
Serves 2
Dietary:
Vegetarian
Ingredients
- 150g/5½oz long grain rice
- 100g/3½oz frozen peas
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 pepper
- 4–5 spring onions
- 3 medium eggs
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
Method
-
A third fill a medium saucepan with water, cover with a lid and bring to the boil. Stir the rice into the water, cover and return to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the rice for 10 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally. Add the peas and cook for 1 minute more.
-
Five minutes before the rice is ready, heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the pepper over a medium-high heat for 4 minutes, stirring. Add the spring onions and cook for 1 minute more, stirring.
-
Drain the rice well and leave in a sieve or colander to one side – if your rice is very starchy after cooking, rinse in cold water before setting aside.
-
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the remaining oil to the other. Pour the beaten eggs into the frying pan, away from the vegetables and scramble over a medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until softly cooked.
-
Add the rice and peas to the pan and mix all the ingredients lightly. Cook together for 1–2 minutes or until everything is steaming hot, stirring constantly. Add the soy sauce and toss together well before serving, with extra soy to sprinkle.
