Healthy Fastest Fried Rice Recipe

Ingredients
- 1 tsp oil
- 250 g pouch microwave brown rice (or leftover rice)
- 2 cups frozen peas, carrots and corn
- 1 tbs salt-reduced soy sauce
- chilli flakes or hot sauce, to taste
- 4 eggs
Method
- In a large wok or frypan, heat oil and fry rice, stirring often, till hot
- Add the frozen vegies and cook, stirring, till defrosted
- Add sauces and mix well
- Push rice and vegies over to one side of the pan and crack the eggs into the free space. Break the eggs up a bit, turn the heat down and cover wok with a lid.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, until eggs are almost cooked to your liking (they will keep cooking a little in the hot rice).
- Mix eggs into rice and vegies and serve with extra chilli sauce, if desired.
Variation:
- Use whatever fresh or frozen vegies you have on hand. Tinned corn (kernels or spears), Asian greens and finely diced capsicum and zucchini all cook quickly. You can even use a bag of ready made coleslaw!
- Peanuts or ready-cooked tofu, prawns or chicken, are all good swaps for the eggs.
- Try replacing some of the soy sauce with hoisin, oyster sauce or kecap manis for a flavour twist

Comment:
- Make your own “microwave rice” by freezing leftover rice in individual portions. Spread out on baking paper on a tray or plate to freeze the grains nice and separately, then put in a sealed container or ziplock bag.
- Short on time or no access to a stove? Whip this up in the microwave. Mix all ingredients together and cook until hot and you can see bits of cooked egg.
