Method

  1. Boil the rice following pack instructions, adding the peas for the final min. Drain.

  2. Heat half the oil in a wok. Pour in the egg and stir-fry until scrambled. Tip onto a plate and set aside.

  3. Wipe the wok with kitchen paper, then heat the remaining oil. Toss in the meat, garlic, spring onions and pepper, and stir-fry until the pepper starts to soften. Add the five-spice, rice, peas and soy, then stir-fry for 5 mins more. Finally add the beansprouts, if using, the egg and prawns, and stir-fry to heat through.

The whole family loved this! I'm veggie so before adding the prawns/meat I separated some into another wok and fried it with tofu.

Unexpectedly good. We did this for the kids and ended up eating it ourselves. Really great recipe!

Delicious mix of flavours, really quick and simple but satisfying. Good hot or cold - I make extra for lunch the next day. I left out prawns and added a bit more soy and fish oil as recommended. 5 stars.

Great recipe. Added broccoli and some green chilli for an extra kick - very tasty! Made enough for lunch as well but couldn't resist a 2nd portion! Will definitely make again

Made this tonight - took the servings as one so doubled it for me and my partner. We really loved it. I have tried another egg fried rice recipe and this one is honestly the better one. It gives great tips to make just a regular egg fried rice. Loved it!! Yummy!

I used raw prawns and cooked them in with the vegetables. I also threw in a bit of fish sauce. This multiplies really easily and was great hot and cold over the next few days as lunches. Definitely adding to my regular recipes!

The recipe came out in the September magazine, it says it serves 2, I found it nice when I made it.

I was thinking the same with the servings on this as well. I have been onto a site (Love food Hate waste) where it advises portion control, according to this site and i use it alot an adult would want 75g of rice, it also said for peas a portion would be 80g, so i think this may be a serving for one, when i make this i will double the amounts to serve two but would cut back the rice to 150g as i feel 200g for two people could be too much. Hope this is of some help.
