Egg-fried rice

Serves 4

INGREDIENTS

• 400ml water
• 200g white rice
• 6 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3-4 spring onions, chopped 
• 1 red pepper, de-seeded and diced

METHOD

1. Bring the water to the boil, add the rice, bring to the boil again and stir once. Place a lid on the pan and simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave the rice in the pan with the lid. It should absorb all the water and be tender.
2. Break the eggs into a bowl and beat them until the yolks and whites are mixed.
3. In a frying pan, heat the oil and fry the onion and red pepper until they soften. 
4. Add the rice to the vegetables and heat through. 
5. Pour the egg mixture over the rice and, stirring all the time, cook the mixture until the eggs are cooked.
6. Serve immediately.
