Simple Fried Rice

This simple fried rice is a versatile, high-protein dish that makes the most of your kitchen staples. By using pre-cooked rice and a hot frying pan, you can create a savoury, satisfying meal that rivals any takeaway. It is an excellent way to use up leftover vegetables or cooked meat from a previous meal, ensuring nothing goes to waste while providing a nutritious balance of carbohydrates and protein. The secret lies in the high heat, which helpfully caramelises the onions and gives the grains a signature texture.

Perfect for a quick midweek dinner or a post-workout recovery meal, this recipe is easily adapted to suit your tastes. Whether you prefer succulent chicken, prawns, or crisp seasonal vegetables like broccoli and peppers, the savoury soy sauce glaze ties everything together beautifully. Serve immediately with a final scattering of spring onions for a fresh, crunchy finish.

Ingredients for Simple Fried Rice

  • 1 medium onion, halved from pole to pole

  • each half cut into 6 wedges

  • 4 to 170g meat of choice, cooked or raw, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 4 to 170g vegetable of choice, cooked or raw, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 1 diente de ajo grande, picado

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

  • 60ml de salsa de soja

  • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 950ml cooked rice

  • 4 spring onions, white and green parts, minced

  1. Set a heavy-bottomed 12-inch nonstick or cast iron skillet over low heat while preparing meat, vegetable, garlic, and eggs. Marinate the meat in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Three to four minutes from making the fried rice, increase the heat to high and turn on the exhaust fan.

  2. Put 1 tablespoon of oil and the onion in the skillet; stir-fry until the onion is still crisp but starts to turn brown, about 1 minute. Add the raw meat or vegetable; stir-fry until crisp-tender for vegetables or lightly browned for meat, about 1 minute. Add the cooked meat or vegetable; stir-fry until lightly browned, about 1 minute longer. (If both meat and vegetables are raw or cooked, stir-fry the meat first, giving it a little head start.) Stir in the garlic, then transfer the mixture to a plate; set aside.

  3. Put the remaining 45ml oil in the skillet; heat until shimmering. Add the rice; stir-fry, breaking up clumps, until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add the egg; stir until scrambled, about 1 minute. Return the meat/vegetable mixture, along with the remaining 3 tablespoons of soy sauce and the spring onions, to the pan and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
