Egg Fried Rice

Time: 25 minutes

Serves 2

Here’s a recipe for Chicken Egg Fried Rice:

Ingredients

  • 170g cooked rice
  • 2 large eggs (separated into yolks and whites)
  • 60g frozen peas
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tbsp frozen garlic (or 2 garlic cloves)
  • 1/2 tbsp frozen ginger (or fresh, if you prefer)
  • 25g soy sauce
  • 1 large chicken breast (about 250g), diced
  • 1 tsp five-spice powder
  • Vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • Spring onions (optional to serve)

Instructions

  1. Seperate the eggs into yolks and whites. Dice the chicken if it is not pre-diced. Finely chop the onion.
  2. Rinse 170g of rice under cold water, then add 340ml of water (2:1 ratio of water to rice) and cook for 10 minutes. Add the egg yolks and combine. Turn the heat off and steam for an additional 10 minutes.
  3. Heat a little vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  4. Return the pan to a medium heat with a tablespoon of oil. Sauté the finely chopped onions for 2-3 minutes then add the frozen garlic and ginger cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Add the egg whites and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add the cooked rice and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, mixing all the ingredients together.
  6. Combine the remaining ingredients (soy sauce, five-spice and frozen peas) and cook through until heated 4-5 minutes.
  7. Once everything is well-mixed and heated through, serve your egg fried rice hot. Garnish with spring onions.
