EGG FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Use a fork to fluff up the rice and break it apart. If you're using freshly cooked rice, let it stand on the counter uncovered until it stops steaming before fluffing it. If you decide to refrigerate the rice overnight in advance of preparing this recipe, it will clump up; you can then use your hands to break up the cold rice clumps into individual grains.
• Beat 3 eggs in one bowl. Beat the other 2 eggs in another bowl, along with 2 tablespoons water, the paprika, and the turmeric. Set these two bowls aside.
• Heat a wok over medium high heat, and add 2 tablespoons oil. Add the 3 beaten eggs (without the spices), and scramble them. Remove them from the wok and set aside.
• Heat wok over high heat, and add the last tablespoon oil. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Next, add the rice and stir-fry for 2 minutes, using a scooping motion to heat the rice uniformly. Use your wok spatula to flatten out and break up any rice clumps. Next, pour the uncooked egg and spice mixture over the rice, and stir-fry for about 1 minute, until all of the rice grains are coated in egg.
• Add the peas and stir fry continuously for another minute. Next spread the salt, sugar, and black pepper over the rice and mix. You should now see some steam coming off the rice, which means it is heated through.
• If the rice looks a little dry, feel free to sprinkle in some water or chicken stock. Adding some liquid directly to any remaining clumps of rice will also help to break them up. Mix in the scrambled eggs and scallions and serve!

MARY BERRY - CHICKEN MALAY RICE

Steps:

• Step 1) Start by cutting the chicken breasts into thin strips, this will help the chicken to fry quicker. Season and fry on a high heat, try not to over cook the chicken. Then add honey to add flavour to the chicken. Fry both sides of the chicken strips, and once ready tip the chicken onto a plate to cool. Step 2) Now for the vegetables, add a large chopped onion into the pan, chop red pepper and crush three cloves of garlic. Fry all these ingredients for 5 minutes and then add the chopped button mushrooms. Step 3) In separate pans cook the Long Grain Rice and Peas. Once cooked, drain the water from both and mix together the Rice and Peas into a bowl and leave to cool. Step 3) You can choose your own spices really but whilst the vegetables are frying I added half a teaspoon of chili powder and a level tbsp of curry powder and started to mix it all together. Step 4) Add your Rice and Peas into the pan and begin to mix! Then add 4 tbsp of soy sauce and fry on a high heat. Stir in your chicken and begin frying an egg for each person eating. Step 5) Once you have finished the last step serve the dish and add the egg on top!

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.
