Fakeaway Fried Rice
Fragrant grains expertly cooked with seasonal aromatics, fresh herbs, and rich stock for a satisfying, flavourful centerpiece.
Ingredients
- • 2 bags boil in the bag basmati rice (we used Tilda branded because it doesn't clump together at all (125g/1 cup))
- • 1 large onion (brown or red, finely chopped)
- • 5 mushrooms (finely sliced)
- • 60 g peas
- • 60 g sweetcorn
- • 1 red pepper (deseeded and finely chopped)
- • 1 yellow pepper (deseeded and finely chopped)
- • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (optional)
- • 2 eggs (made into a thick omelette and chopped)
- • 2 chicken breasts (cooked and diced)
- • low calorie cooking spray
Preparation Steps
Cook the rice according to packet instructions & allow to cool. If you drain the rice and then pour a kettle of boiling water over it the rice will not stick together as much
Mist your wok or frying pan with low calorie cooking spray
Over a medium heat add the onions and peppers, then cook for a few minutes
Add the peas, sweetcorn and mushrooms and cook until they just start to colour
Stir in the soy sauce and oyster sauce and allow to cook for another couple of minutes
Add the egg and chicken pieces, mix well
Stir in the cooked rice and allow to cook, stirring continuously, until it is piping hot
Stir in some more soy sauce if you want, and serve
