Basic Fried Rice

Fried rice is super easy and you can just make it with whatever you have leftover in the fridge. Prawns are also a great addition but hubby doesn’t eat them. You can also take out the meat and just have veggies and tofu 🙂

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked rice (completely cooled/straight from the fridge is perfect)
  • 100g ham – diced
  • 1 carrot – grated
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cloves garlic – crushed
  • 1 small can corn kernals
  • 50g frozen peas
  • sweet soy sauce (if you do not have this, you can use normal soy and honey)
  • prawns – cut into small pieces

Method:

  1. if you are using prawns, fry them up first on the pan so they are cooked
  2. pour oil into the rice and mix well
  3. Heat up a pan until very hot and put rice, corn, carrot and ham in (mix well). It should sizzle from the oil in the rice
