Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wash the rice, soak for 30 minutes, then drain. Bring 5–6 cups of water to a rolling boil in a large pot, add the rice and optionally 1/2 teaspoon salt, and cook until al dente (still with a bite). Drain and cool completely.
  2. Chop the vegetables and garlic. Beat the eggs until fluffy.
  3. Over high heat, warm the oil in a pan. Add the garlic and green chili and fry for 30 seconds. Add the white parts of the spring onions and fry for 1 minute.
  4. Add the chopped vegetables and fry for about 2 minutes, keeping them crunchy. Push them to one side of the pan.
  5. Reduce to medium heat, pour in the eggs and scramble until soft and almost set. Sprinkle with a little salt.
  6. Raise the heat, add the soy sauce, vinegar and hot sauce (if using) and let them sizzle.
  7. Add the cooled rice, black pepper and spring onion greens, plus toasted sesame oil if desired. Fry on the highest heat for about 2 minutes, then adjust salt and spice.
  8. Garnish with spring onions and serve.
