Broccoli fried rice


Ingredients

Serves8
  • 275g uncooked long-grain rice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 500g broccoli florets
  • 3 spring onions, diced
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Prep: 5 mins |Cook: 25 mins
1.Cook rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
 
2.Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat. Sauté broccoli until tender but still crisp, and add spring onions. Remove from frying pan. Scramble eggs; return broccoli mixture to pan. Stir in cooked rice, soy sauce, salt and pepper.
 
Note:
Allow the rice to sit a moment to cool after it's finished cooking. This will prevent it from getting mushy when you fry it. This dish is best, however, using leftover rice.
