Egg & Crispy Rice

Egg & Crispy Rice

This is proper comfort food and a very fast dinner. I almost make extra so that I have leftovers for fried rice and this crispy rice. You can fry the whole batch of rice in a big pan instead of doing individual portions but in case you are flying solo I wanted to give you the option. A very satisfying dinner!

Serves 2

Ingredients:

6 tbsp sunflower oil

400g cooked rice

1 tsp garlic powder

x2 fried eggs

2 tbsp chilli oil, optional

2 tbsp seed mix salt and pepper

A mix of blanched greens:

100g broccoli spears

250g asparagus

2 handfuls spinach seasoned with 2 tbsp sesame oil, squeeze lime juice and 1 tbsp tamari sauce

2 spring onions, thinly sliced

Set a large frying pan to a medium to high heat and add 3 spoons sunflower oil.

Toss the rice in salt, pepper and garlic powder. Then add half the rice and squash it down a bit to about 3cm thick. Bring the heat down and fry for about 6-7mins until the bottom is crisp. Lay a small plate on top and flip the rice over. Continue with the rest of the rice.

In a separate pan, fry two eggs and blanch the greens.

Plate up with the eggs on top of the fried rice. Greens on top and scatter over the spring onions. Sprinkle over the seeds and chilli oil.
