Delicious Fried Rice

Delicious Fried Rice

Fried rice, is one of those lovely comforting foods that everyone in the world seems to like – no one is intimidated by fried rice.

Somehow, all these rogue ingredients have crept into restaurant versions over the years, such as corn, peas and ham.

I find the trick with fried rice is to keep it really simple and traditional – just some really fresh and fluffy eggs, onion, bacon or Chinese sausage, ginger and some spring onions.

Serves 2 to 4

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup Peanut Oil
  • 4 large Free Range Eggs beaten
  • 1 tablespoon Peanut Oil extra
  • 1½ teaspoons finely chopped Ginger
  • 4 Garlic Cloves diced
  • 1 medium brown onion finely diced
  • ½ cup roughly chopped rindless Bacon rashes or chinese sausage
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons shao hsing wine
  • 5 cups cooked medium grain White Rice
  • 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce
  • 1 cup finely sliced spring onion scallions
  • 3 teaspoons Maggii Seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon Sesame Oil
  • 2 finely sliced on the diagonal spring onions scallions
  • ¼ cup light soy sauce
