Vegetable Fried Rice

This is basically vegetables and rice stir fried together. I must admit to using the microwaveable pouches of rice as they are very quick and easy to point. The secret to a good fried rice is to get some colour on the vegetables and to makes sure that they are cut in such a way that they cook in the same time. I add garlic, five spice, chilli flakes, soy sauce and oyster sauce to mine and it tastes fantastic.

This was made using leek, red onion, courgette and mushrooms as that was what I had available. Carrot strips and beansprouts would also work well as do peppers and baby sweetcorn. I like to experiment with different vegetables.

Serve on it’s own as a snack or light lunch or with fish, chicken in fact there is not much it will not go with.

Made with 1 pack of Uncle Ben’s Basmati rice in microwavable pouches this will serve 2 and is 2.5 pts per portion.
