Easy Peezy Egg Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 400 ml cooked long-grain rice (enough to fill a measuring jug up to 400ml level)
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons ground nut oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 50 g bean sprouts
• 50 g water chestnuts
• 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions
• 50 g frozen peas (thawed and drained)
• 50 g chopped ham
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare your ingredients by slicing the water chestnuts, chopping the spring onions and ham. Then arrange your ingredients on a plate or in bowls ready. This makes it easier when coming to the actual stir frying section as you can just grab your ingredients.

2. 2

   Beat the eggs together with the sesame oil and set aside.

3. 3

   Place your wok over a high heat and add the groundnut oil. Heat until very hot (almost smoking).

4. 4

   Add the cooked rice and stir fry for 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Stir in the ham, peas, salt, pepper and soy sauce.Then stir fry for another minute or two.

6. 6

   Add the beaten egg and sesame oil mix and stir through. Keep moving and stir fry for 1 minute. This should at first go kind of shiny and gloopy looking at this stage, then the eggs start to cook and distribute throughout the rice.

7. 7

   Add the bean sprouts, water chestnuts and spring onions. Stir fry for a further 2 minutes then serve with your favorite Chinese dish -- or on it's own! Delicious!
