Fried rice

Now, I know that you know that I know how to make fried rice, but for the sake of another recipe I thought I would give Nigella's a go.

Recipe:
165. Stir-fried rice

Source: Feast

Weird ingredients and substitutes: I left out the prawns given Hubby's dislike of seafood. The chicken I scavenged from the St Tropez chicken (without the sauce, of course). I had no garlic oil, so just used olive oil.

Preparation: Well, first thing I had to do was put the rice into the rice cooker and start cooking. During this time I scavenged the chicken and chopped up the spring onion.

Cooking process: Cook spring onion then add beansprouts, add rice, chicken and corn. I tasted it at this stage and then added my own soy sauce and some stock powder. Then tip in the beaten egg and stir.

End result: Meh. It was edible.

I prefer my own version, which is to add more vegies such as capsicum, peas and mushrooms (whatever is in the fridge), and to cook the egg as a separate omelette which is then cut into pieces and added to the rice. I like to add soy sauce and stock powder. I like to serve with Japanese seven-spice pepper and a cut-up chilli.

Repeatability: Not Nigella's recipe

Cost: Not counting the chicken given that it was costed in #162, $4.

Mess: Depends whether your rice sticks to the wok or not.

Special utensils: Rice cooker and a wok.
