I make this A LOT. I think it’s one of those examples of why it can be so effective to pick relatively few recipes to make and make them again and again until you’re making them the way that is perfect for you. Every time I make this it seems like I’m making little changes to improve it, a little more of this or a little less of that and eventually, you have something tuned to your own tastes. This works great for one person, using the freezer, leftover vegetables, in your fridge and store cupboard essentials.
Ingredients
Serves 1
60g rice
4-5 spring onions
4-5 florets of broccoli (or any spare veg)
a handful of frozen peas
1 egg
2 tsp soy sauce
2 tsp chilli sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
heaped teaspoon crispy onions or crushed nuts
Instructions
- Cook the rice, leave to cool, toss in a little sesame oil and put in the fridge to chill
- Slice the onion and broccoli and stir fry over a high heat
- Add the chilled rice, peas the soy sauce and chilli sauce and continue to stir fry.

Key Tip
