Egg Fried Rice

I love this recipe. It works so well as a side dish to any stir fry / Asian style meal, is very easy to prepare and really yummy. I first saw this on the show 'Chinese Food Made Easy' on Foxtel. The tomato sounds strange but it really works well. You can see the original recipe here:-

Hope you enjoy!

2 cups cooked & cold Jasmine or Basmati Rice
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
3 eggs, beaten
2 tomatoes, deseeded and chopped
1/2 cup soya sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 cup choppped spring (green) onion

Heat a wok or frypan until smoking and add 1 tablespoon of the grapeseed oil. Add the eggs and cook (as you would an omlette) until just set. Remove from wok, slice into strips and set aside. Transfer the scrambled eggs to a warm plate and set aside.

Add the remaining grapeseed oil. Add the cooked rice and stir well to break up the grains, then add the tomatoes and stir fry for 1-2 minutes.
Return the egg to the wok with the rice and tomatoes along with the soya sauce and sesame oil. Add the spring onion and cook for another 30 secs then it's ready to eat.

This recipe serves 4 people.
