Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or rapeseed oil or coconut oil
- 300-500 g chicken shredded, leftover
- 500 g brown rice pre-cooked
- 100 g peas frozen
- 100 g sweetcorn frozen
- 1 red pepper diced
- 4 spring onions sliced finely (plus 2 extra for garnish)
- 3 cloves garlic crushed or grated
- 4 egg medium
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or GF tamari)
Instructions
- Put 2 tablespoons olive, rapeseed or coconut oil in a large frying pan or wok and heat over a medium-high heat for 1 minute.
- Add the cooked rice, shredded chicken, frozen peas, frozen sweetcorn, red pepper and spring onions. Stir fry 3-4 minutes, until everything is warmed through and the frozen veg is no longer frozen.
- Add the garlic and stir fry for 1 more minute.
- Meanwhile crack the eggs into a large mug or small jug and whisk together lightly with a fork. Make a well in the middle of the rice mixture and pour in the eggs – cook for 30 seconds, then mix the rice mixture and eggs together.
- Continue frying for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally, until you start to get some nice crispy brown bits. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil and fry for 1 more minute.
- Serve scattered with a few extra spring onions. Put the bottles of soy sauce and sesame oil on the table for everyone to help themselves to extra, if needed.
Notes
- No leftover chicken? No problem – simply pan fry two chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side on a medium heat, leave to rest for 5 minutes, shred using a couple of forks and then continue with the recipe above.
