Method

  1. Boil the kettle. Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan, then add the peppers and mushrooms. Fry over a high heat for 3 mins or until starting to soften and turn golden. Turn down the heat, then stir in the rice, garlic and five-spice. Sizzle for 2 mins, then splash in the Sherry, if using, and top up with 350ml hot water.
  2. Cover the pan and simmer for 15-20 mins until all of the liquid has gone and the rice is tender, stirring now and again. Add the peas for the final few mins.
  3. Heat another frying pan, add a drop of the sesame oil, then add the eggs. Swirl around the pan to make a thin omelette. Once set, turn out onto a board, roll up and shred thinly. Tip the egg and spring onions onto the rice, fluff up with a fork, season with soy sauce and sesame oil, then serve.

    I used oyster mushrooms as well as shiitake and used brown rice also. Since it takes so long for brown rice to cook, I cooked it first in veg stock and then added the rice to the veggies, minus the water obviously. Big hit in our house!

    Tasty and healthy - the five spice powder really helps the flavour. I didn't include the sherry but might next time if I have it to see the difference. Overall I prefer the 'fast fix rice' recipe that's also on the site.

    It's a nice enough taste which makes me want to repeat it as a mid week's tea (3 stars). As I am generally not good with cooking rice to the point I stuck exactly to the recipe's measures - which left the rice sticking to the pot's bottom and too hard. So I poured in a bit more hot water - which turned the whole dish into a sticky mash. Not a pleasant sight (1 star) and a rather disappointing result. Will try again with separately cooked chinese noodles though.

    Surprisingly tasty and healthy :) I used brown rice and cooked for 10 minutes beforehand and followed the recipe.
