This is for those times when you fancy ordering takeaway, but it’s quicker (and cheaper) to cook at home.
Friday night fakeaway just got easier with this speedy make-at-home fried rice. To make this dish even more substantial, slide an egg fried sunny-side-up (see note), onto each serving of fried rice.
Ingredients
2 tbspt vegetable oil
200g fresh shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
200g streaky bacon, thinly sliced
1 bunch snake beans (about 200g), trimmed and cut into 6cm lengths (see note)
2 cups cooked white rice
¼ cup store-bought XO sauce
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tbsp Asian chilli oil
4 spring onions, thinly sliced
4 eggs, optional
Method
Step 1
Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms, bacon, and snake beans, and cook for 6 minutes, turning. Add the rice and cook for 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp, turning occasionally.
Step 2
Add the XO, soy and chilli oil and toss to combine. Remove the wok from the heat and set aside.
Step 3
Serve the fried rice topped with spring onion slices (and a fried egg, if desired – see instructions below).
Notes
Fry the eggs one at a time by heating 1 teaspoon of oil in a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Break an egg into the pan and cook for 3 minutes, for sunny side up. Carefully remove the egg and repeat the process with the remaining eggs.
If you can’t find snake beans, substitute green beans.
