One Man, Egg Fried Rice
This is a simple one that I make more often than not as a breakfast, yep, a breakfast. It is a delicious, quick and filling way to start the day if you have some leftover rice in the fridge and a couple of other simple ingredients in the pantry. This recipe is for one, but you can increase the quantities to serve more and can also add more ingredients to bulk it out, things like leftover roast chicken or peas or other greens.
Ingredients
Method
- Heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium–high heat. Add the butter, then the rice, garlic and sausage. Toss through the pan to begin to heat everything through. Add the soy sauce and sweet soy sauce along with a dusting of the umami seasoning and continue to toss.
- Add the eggs to a small bowl along with the sesame oil and whisk together. Move the rice to one side of the pan and pour in the egg mixture. Allow it to firm slightly, then create a light scramble. When the top of the egg is still raw, mix it through the rice and toss to combine. Remove from the heat to a bowl almost immediately.
- To finish, top with my Crispy Chilli Oil (opens in a new tab) and enjoy.
Notes
Day-old rice from the fridge works best.
Bulk it out with leftover roast chicken, peas or other greens.
