• 2 tablespoons oil

Method for Simple Fried Rice:

1. Boil the rice and set aside and allow to go cold (or use cold leftover boiled rice).
2. Beat the eggs with a little salt. Fry as an omelette, cut into 1” squares and set aside.
3. In a wok or frying pan, over medium heat, cook the onion and carrot in a tablespoon of oil until softened.
4. Add the bacon cook for 1 minute more.
5. Add the mushrooms, peas and green pepper and continue cooking for a further 2 minutes.
6. Add the cold cooked rice and stir well until rice is in separate grains.
7. Add the soya sauce, then the egg squares.
8. Cook for about 1 more minute.
9. Sprinkle with the spring onions and serve.

This is a quick, easy and filling dish.

You can vary the recipe by adding, for example, prawns, chillies (if you want to give it a kick), leftover cold pork or ham, bamboo shoots or water chestnuts, or just let your imagination run riot.

Another variation is to use cooked cold noodles instead of rice.
