It's September. Fried rice it is. This easy dinner will have you satisfied and not feeling too heavy. There aren't many recipes left for this year so I hope you have given at least one a go. This is easy to follow, and even for the dustiest of cooks it can't go too wrong. Give it a crack.
1 and a half cups brown rice
2 large chicken breasts cut into chunks or 250g prawns
2 large carrots, cut into thin slices
1 cup edamame beans
2 eggs
2 tsp sesame oil
2 Tbsp soy sauce
Sprinkle of chilli flakes
Sprinkle of turmeric for colour
1 cup spinach
Directions
Bring a pot of water to boil and add in the brown rice. White rice will do but brown rice is a gut healthier alternative. Add the rice, stir occasionally, and taste until it's cooked through.
Heat a large pan with oil. Bring it to medium heat. Add the protein of your choice and cook for a few minutes, then add the sliced carrots and edamame beans for another couple of minutes. Crack the eggs into the pan and mix thoroughly until the egg scrambles.
Reduce the heat and add the sesame oil, soy sauce, chilli and turmeric. Stir in. The rice should be well done by now, so strain the water off and add the rice to the pan. Add the spinach before you serve and Bob's your uncle.
Have a taste. You may want to add a sprinkle of brown sugar for sweetness, more soy sauce or some sweet chilli to top it off if you have any.
