Lazy Sundays

Another day, another post! :D
Today's one is a simple one, it's one of my go-to recipes when I'm in a pinch: Fried rice!
This is another recipe where you can rummage through your fridge or pantry, pick out your favourite ingredients and mix them together to make a meal! This only took about 10 minutes, so take that Jamie Oliver! :p
Again, with these kinds of recipes preparation is key. Today I had some roast chicken, corn and spring onions in the fridge. There was some rice in the rice cooker and we had eggs in the pantry. So then it was just a matter of shred, cut and wash and I was ready to go! If you have cooked ingredients, it's a good idea to heat them up in the microwave first. The sauces I used are based on a

Fried Rice
Rice, cooked and still hot
Chicken, cooked and shredded
Corn, boiled and shaved
Spring onion, chopped
Egg
Salt and Pepper to season

Sauce (optional)
Kecap manis - a dark, sweet soy sauce
Sriracha - a hot chilli sauce
Tomato sauce
Sesame oil


As you will notice, these ingredients aren't measured! It's all about adding as much or as little as you like :)

Nothing glamorous here

1. Prepare the ingredients as required.
2. Heat up a wok and add oil

Savoury, spicy aroma and colour

3. Add rice and quickly stir fry. After about a minute, make a well in the center and add your sauces. Mix well to incorporate sauce into the rice.

4. Add in the prepared ingredients and stir fry until everything is heated through and aromatic. Taste and season if needed.

5. Serve the fried rice!

Get it all in there!

    6. (Optional) Fry an egg sunny side up and season with salt and    

        pepper. Serve on top of the fried rice.

 
I reaaaaaaaaaally like the way the egg gives the rice a creamy, delicious coating when you break the yolk! A little thing I like to do is to put a few drops of sesame oil on the egg, gives it that little smoky, nutty flavour that complements nicely.

All set to go :)

Nothing better than a runny yolk, yum!
