Chinese Egg-fried rice!

Just like the real thing - this serves two people, it took me about 20 minutes to make and costs about £1.00 each!

Ingredients

200g long grain rice
1 mug of frozen peas
1tbsp sunflower oil
2 back bacon rashers - roughly chopped
1 red pepper - chopped
2 garlic cloves - thinly sliced
2 eggs
1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
2 spring onions - shredded

How to cook

Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to the boil and add a little salt.

Pour in the rice, stir once and return to the boil, then turn the heat down a bit so that it boils steadily - do this without stirring for 8 minutes.

Throw in the peas and boil for another 2 minutes until the rice is tender and then drain into a large sieve.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the bacon for 3-4 minutes until crispy and then add the peppers and the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.

Beat the eggs, pour into the pan and fry until the egg just sets.

Put in the Chinese five-spice powder and add the rice and peas.

Top with the shredded spring onion and serve with some soy sauce.
