Syn Free Pork Egg Fried Rice

This, according to Uncle Ben's is supposed to serve 2 but I don’t think it’s enough.  For two people I’d do two bags of rice and have whatever’s leftover for lunch the next day…but that might just be me.  It’s syn free so I’ll happily have a bigger portion.

I acknowledge that these quantities are a bit random but you get the general idea – you can adjust to your preference.

Ingredients

1 packet Uncle Bens boil in the bag rice (or two if you’re like me!)
Dark soy sauce to taste
Oyster sauce
Cooked pork (I used pulled pork as I had it to hand but you could use any meat or veg)
1 red onion finely chopped
2 handfuls of frozen peas
1 red chilli deseeded and finely chopped (optional)
Pinch Chinese 5 spice
2 eggs beaten
Garlic fry lite
Spring onions to serve

Method

Cook your rice according to the instructions and leave to cool.  You can use leftover rice too but if you’re cooking specifically for this recipie I always slightly undercook, by maybe a minute or two as I know it’s going to be reheated and cooked a little more.

Spray your wok or large frying pan with garlic fry lite and heat.  Add the rice and warm through.
Next, add soy sauce to taste, I added about a tablespoon I guess which may have been slightly too much.  Next time I’ll add it more gradually and see how it looks.  I added a tablespoon oyster sauce too as I like it but if you don’t you don’t have to.  Give it a thorough stir to evenly coat the rice
Heat the pork in a pan or give it a zap in the microwave.

While the pork’s cooking add the peas, onion and chilli if you're using to the wok and mix through



Beat the eggs in a bowl 

When it’s all distributed, make a ‘well’ in the centre of the wok.  This is where you’ll cook your egg.  I tend to give the wok another squirt of fry lite to cook the egg in.

I use chopsticks to stir fry the egg
Add the beaten eggs to the well in your rice mixture and cook.  I use chopsticks and cook the eggs by whisking in a side to side motion.  Regardless how you do it, your aim is to make little omlette pieces.

When eggs are cooked add the hot pork and mix everything well.  If you need a little more soy or oyster sauce you can add it now and just heat through

Serve immediately garnished with chopped spring onions
