Fried Rice
Fried rice is a simple, deeply satisfying dish inspired by Asian cooking. Cooked rice is tossed quickly in a wok or frying pan with crisp vegetables such as carrots, peas or peppers. Scrambled eggs, pieces of meat or prawns can be added for extra texture and flavour. Everything is seasoned with soy sauce, garlic, ginger and sometimes a drizzle of sesame oil. Quick to make, full of flavour, and the perfect way to use up leftover rice.
