HOW TO COOK A FRIED EGG RECIPES

Steps:

• Tip the rice into a medium saucepan. Add 300ml/10fl oz water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, drain off any excess water and leave to steam dry, uncovered in the pan until ready to use.
• Heat a tablespoon of the oil in a frying pan or wok over a medium heat. Add the eggs and cook, stirring, until scrambled. Transfer to a plate and return the pan to the heat.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the pan over a high heat. Add the onion and pepper, then season with salt and pepper. Fry for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and ginger, if using, and fry for a further minute.
• Reduce the heat to medium, add the cooked rice, spring onions, peas, if using, scrambled egg and soy sauce. Toss together and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until heated through.

Steps:

• Gently fry the mushrooms in the oil until soft, then add the paprika and plenty of seasoning and keep frying until browned. Stir in the soy sauce.
• Cook the noodles following pack instructions. Meanwhile, cook the broccoli in simmering water for 3 mins, or steam it if you prefer.
• Put the mushrooms, broccoli and peas in a bowl with the egg. Add the noodles with some of the water still clinging to them, then drain the pan. Tip everything from the bowl back into the pan and stir to heat through. Make sure the egg is thoroughly cooked before serving, then scatter over the spring onion.
