Ingredients
- 200 g Long grain rice
- 1 Chicken breast thinly sliced
- 200 g Bacon lardons
- 1 Onion diced
- 1 Red pepper diced
- 4 Cloves of garlic chopped
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 100 g Spring onions sliced
Instructions
- Bring 500ml of water to the boil. Season with salt then add the rice. Give it a stir then leave to simmer over a medium-high heat until its cooked. It should soak up all the water, but if not drain the liquid out.
- Leave the rice to cool completely. It will cool quicker if you lay it out flat on a tray or large baking dish.
- Heat some oil in a large wok or frying pan. Add the thinly sliced chicken and bacon lardons and stir fry over a high heat until the chicken browns and the bacon starts to crisp.
- Add the diced onion and red pepper and stir fry for a few minutes.
- Chuck in the garlic and cook for another minute before getting the rice in the pan.
- Stir fry for about 5 minutes. Then push the rice to one side of the pan and add the eggs. Stir together until the eggs are scrambled and mix through the rice.
- Pour in the soy sauce and mix it in, then take the pan off the heat.
- Stir through the spring onions and it’s ready to dish up.
