Special Fried Rice

Fried rice is a firm favourite in our house, I try to make different varieties by adding vegetables, meats etc. This version used leftover ham on the bone, I also had a tin of pineapple so I used some of that and added some cooked prawns for an extra special treat.

It was a huge hit, hubby went to work next day with the leftovers for lunch.

Ingredients

1 onion, diced

1 garlic clove, crushed

1 carrot, peeled, chopped

100 g peas

1 red capsicum, diced

60 g mushrooms, sliced

100 g cherry tomatoes, quartered

1 spring onion, sliced

1 chicken stock cube

150 g diced ham

150 g cooked prawns

150 g diced pineapple

2 cups cooked rice

1 tbsp soy sauce

2 eggs, beaten

Method

1.  Heat oil in a wok over a medium-high heat. Add onions and saute for 4 minutes, add garlic and saute for a further 2 minutes until onions are translucent.

2.  Add the vegetables, cook for 2-3 minutes. Add crushed stock cube and rice, mix to combine. Add ham, prawns and pineapple.

3.  Heat some butter or oil in a small frying pan. Add beaten egg and cook gently until set. Cut into thin slices. 

4.  Stir egg and soy sauce through the rice mixture. Serve hot.

Enjoy.
