Ingredients

1x2x3x

• ▢ 2 tablespoon vegetable or peanut oil groundnut oil
• ▢ 3 eggs lightly beaten
• ▢ 100 g shrimp prawns (raw, de-veined)
• ▢ 100 g smoked bacon finely chopped, or lardons
• ▢ 3-4 spring onions finely chopped
• ▢ 150 g long grain rice basmati works well here, cooked before hand and chilled
• ▢ 1 teaspoon salt
• ▢ 1 tablespoon Hoisin sauce
• ▢ 1 tablespoon light soy sauce

Instructions

 

• In a hot wok, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and pour in the eggs. Cook, stirring, until the eggs are lightly set. Remove before they become crispy, and set aside.
• Add remaining oil and stir-fry the shrimp, bacon and spring onions for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. If your bacon is thick, you may want to start this first to cook a little longer than the shrimp and onion.
• Add the rice and the salt, and cook until the rice is warmed through.
• Add the Hoisin and light soy sauce.
• Fold in the eggs, and serve.

Notes

NOTE:

Rice should be cooked ahead of time and cooled in the fridge for best results to avoid a mushy mess.

Chicken, sliced pork or chopped peppers, can be substituted for the shrimp.

Add your favorite vegetables.
