“Mum, is this fried rice, like, your secret recipe?”
“Not really. I mean, I made up the recipe but it’s not secret.”
This from is my girl who always has two helpings of my fried rice. In fact, all my kids gobble up this recipe, well not the recipe, but the food. It’s a super simple to make, and I’m going to share the “secret” with you. The entire recipe is basically cheating and is so easy, it’s almost embarrassing.
Ingredients
(serves 6)
2 cups of uncooked long grain rice
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion diced
1-2 teaspoon of garlic
1 teaspoon of chili
1 tablespoon of coriander
300-600 grams diced bacon
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
1 egg (optional)
Extra soy sauce to serve
You can use fresh herbs (which taste fantastic) but I use pre-packed ingredients because this is one of my super-quick-whip-up-in-no-time recipes.
Method
1. Cook rice as per instructions and set aside. I cook rice in the microwave.
2. Place butter in a large frying pan.
3. Cook onion for a few minutes.
4. Add garlic and chili and cook for a few minutes.
5. Add coriander.
6. Then bacon pieces and cook until slightly brown.
7. Add frozen peas, corn and soy sauce and stir to mix. Cook until the vegetables are heated through (about 5 minutes).
8. Crack an egg on the frypan ingredients and fold through the hot mixture. (optional)
9. Stir through cooked rice.
10. Serve. Add soy sauce to taste.
There you have it: my embarrassingly easy fried rice recipe!

Love how easy this sounds. Just about to do the online grocery shop so will be making sure I’ve got the ingredients to try this this week. Thank you!
Hope you like it. Trust me: it IS easy
I love fried rice and pack as many veg in as I can find
I’ve also started making extra and freezing it in a muffin tin, then transferring to a zip-lock bag so there is either a snack size version, or a lunch/dinner portion size – just grab as many fried rice “muffins” out as needed!
Ooo, great tips Meegan!
I do a similar thing but use kejap manis (indonesian sweet thick soy sauce) and a tin of baby corn spears. Very yummy.
Oh yes please! Love the variation. Thanks for that!
I did this for dinner tonight. The kids loved it. I used up half a bag of a stir fry mix instead of the peas and corn just to get it out of the freezer and it worked really well. I also put sweet soy on the kids as I know how much they love it and I had never done fried rice for them before and they have been going through a picky stage, so just seeing me put that on would get them to the point of eating it. It will be a regular now
