Egg fried rice

We love a takeaway as much as the usual family. But between the two of us a chinese usually comes in a fairly horrendous £13! I've been seeing so many people making "fakeaways" recently and so I thought I'd jump on board and give it a go.


Here is my super easy egg fried rice recipe.

Ingredients:
1 tbsp. oil (we use extra virgin olive oil)
Cooled boiled rice (enough for two people - it doesn't matter what sort so long as it is plain)
1 cup of frozen peas
1 egg
2 tbsp. soy sauce

Method:
Heat up the oil in your frying pan or wok
Add in your cooled rice and stir fry it (keep stirring or it'll burn to your pan) for about 4-5 minutes or until it is fully heated
Throw in your frozen peas and give another good stir
In a little bowl beat the egg and add in the soy sauce (don't forget to keep stirring the rice though)
Now turn the heat down and  drizzle this eggy-saucy mixture over the rice and peas and give this a really good mix now - you don't a big block of egg in your rice, more evenly distributed throughout the rice.
And that is it. We didn't need ours straight away (I was making tea early so it could just be heated up when I'd finished teaching) so I popped it into a bowl and let it cool. This is fine to keep and reheat the next day too if you have leftovers.

Enjoy!
