Method
- 1
Rinse the rice, then cook it in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain and spread it on a tray for 10 minutes so it dries and cools a little.
10 min - 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of the sunflower oil in a large frying pan or wok. Fry the bacon for 5 minutes until crisp, then lift it out.
5 min - 3
Add another tablespoon of oil and pour in the eggs. Stir for 1 minute until just set, then tip them onto the bacon.
1 min - 4
Heat the last of the oil on a high heat. Add the garlic, spring onions and peas and stir for 1 minute.
- 5
Add the rice and stir fry for 3 minutes, pressing it against the pan so it starts to toast.
3 min - 6
Return the bacon and eggs. Add the tamari, sesame oil and pepper and toss for 1 minute. Serve hot.
