Chinese Fried Rice
INGREDIENTS:
Ingredients:
2 tablespoon sunflower or vegetable oil
225g (8oz) Cooked long grain rice
75g (3oz) Smoked lean bacon, finely diced
75g (3oz) Peeled prawns
2 size 3 eggs, beaten
100g (4oz) Fresh or frozen peas, blanched
6 Spring Onions
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
** To garnish **
Spring onion tassels
** Procedure **
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok, until just smoking. Stir in the rice and stir fry for 1 minute, then add the bacon and prawns. Continue to cook for a further 5 minutes over a high heat. Stir in the beaten eggs, peas and spring onions, and cook for a further two minutes. Season to taste. Serve piping hot, garnished with spring onion tassels.
Note: For best results, slightly undercook the rice. This will stop the whole thing from becoming a sludgy mess.
Makes 3 to 4 servings.
