Egg Fried Rice with Broccoli

Method

• step 1

  Beat together the egg and sesame oil and put to one side.

• step 2

  Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan. When it's shimmering and almost smoking, add the rice and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until completely heated through.

• step 3

  Add the broccoli, if using. Stir-fry, turning the rice constantly around the pan, for about 3 minutes. Season well with soy sauce and pepper, then push to one side of the pan.

• step 4

  Pour the beaten egg mixture into the other side and leave for about 10 seconds so it begins to set. Using a chopstick, briskly swirl around the egg to break it up and then toss around with the rice.

• step 5

  Stir-fry for a further minute and serve straight away.
