BACON AND EGG FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet or wok over high heat, then add the 2 tablespoons of oil and the bacon. Cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 2 minutes. Stir in the onion, garlic, carrots and snap peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 1 minute.
• Add the eggs to the skillet, then add the rice directly into the wet egg. Using the back of a spatula or spoon, press the rice into the egg, fold and repeat until the rice is completely coated and heated through. Add the soy sauce and oyster sauce and stir to coat the rice. Season with a pinch of salt. Cook over high heat, stirring, until the rice is heated through, 2 to 4 minutes. Garnish with the scallions and some white pepper.

EGG-FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Cook the rice following pack instructions, then drain, spread it out to steam-dry and set aside.
• Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a large wok over a high heat, then add the onion and fry until lightly browned, around 5 mins. Add the rice, stir and toast for about 3 mins, then move to the side of the pan.
• Add the remaining oil, then tip in the egg mixture. Leave to cook a little, then mix in with the rice - stir vigorously to coat the grains or, if you prefer the egg chunkier, allow to set for a little longer before breaking up and stirring through. Tip into a serving bowl and scatter over the spring onion to serve.
