METHOD
Cook the rice as per pack instructions, then leave it aside to cool. Whether it’s long-grain, wild, brown, or basmati, all are a good source of the B vitamins and minerals that your body needs for energy. In a wok, heat a glug of oil and fry the ginger, garlic, chilli, onion and lemongrass until soft: a potent immunity boosting cocktail.
Heat another dash of oil in the wok and crack in two eggs for healthy fats. Scramble, then remove. Fry the broccoli and potato strips for two minutes. Add the rice to the pan, along with the garlic mix and spring onions.
Finally, add the eggs and soy sauce, stirring everything together until it becomes nicely crispy.
