Fried Rice

I am assuming that if you are cooking Chinese you will be with friends and will need rice for more than one person


  • Approximately 4oz rice
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons of oil
  • 1oz blanched almonds or cashew nuts
  • 2 spring onions finely chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • Pinch of salt



  1. Boil the rice then place in a separate dish and allow to cool
  2. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan 
  3. Beat the eggs and salt together and add to the oil in the pan stirring all the time, until it is half cooked (slightly runny)
  4. Add the rice to the mixture, breaking up any lumps, coat all the grains in the egg, stirring quickly.
  5. Add the spring onions and nuts
  6. Sprinkle the soy sauce over the mixture 
  7. Fry for 3 - 4 minutes stirring constantly


Serve in a warm dish
