Ingredients
- 3 tsp olive oil
- 1 carrot, finely diced
- 80g cooked ham, chopped into pieces
- 2 spring onions, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely crushed
- 10g fresh ginger, grated
- 1 x 250g pouch brown basmati microwave rice
- 1 tsp soy sauce or tamari*
- 1 egg
- 100g frozen peas
- 1 x 227g tin pineapple chunks, drained
Step by step
- Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a wok or frying pan over a high heat and sauté the carrot for 1 minute. Add the ham and cook for 1 minute, then add the spring onions, garlic and ginger and stir-fry for another minute until the ham is slightly crispy. Add the rice and stir-fry for a further 3 minutes. Toss through the soy sauce or tamari.
- Make a well in the middle of the rice and add the remaining oil. Once hot, crack in the egg and allow to set for a few seconds before breaking it up and mixing it through the rice.
-
Add the peas and pineapple and cook until the peas are no longer frozen, and the pineapple is heated through, then serve.
*Use tamari, not soy sauce, if gluten-free.
