Method

  • step 1

    Fill a roomy saucepan with water, bring to the boil and tip in a heaped teaspoon of salt - the water will bubble furiously. Pour in the rice, stir once and return to the boil, then turn the heat down a little so that the water is boiling steadily, but not vigorously.

  • step 2

    Boil uncovered, without stirring (this makes for sticky rice) for 10 minutes. After 8 minutes, throw in the frozen peas, boil for 2 minutes and drain (don’t rinse).

  • step 3

    Heat the sunflower oil in a wok and stir fry the bacon for 3-4 minutes until crisp. Tip in the red pepper and the garlic cloves and stir fry for 2 minutes.

  • step 4

    Beat the eggs, pour into the pan and stir fry until the egg just sets. Toss in the Chinese 5-spice and the rice and peas. Top with the shredded spring onions.

question

When do you add the rice ? You make no reference to when you add it

Hi, thanks for spotting this. It happens in STEP 4. It should say: Toss in the Chinese 5-spice and the rice and peas. Top with 1-2 shredded spring onions, if you like. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

question

How can I avoid soggy and mushy rice when I cook it?

glamnaildivahHKc1ylB

Do not stir rice and wash rice before use. Washing rice removes some of the starch.
