10 min total serves 2 4 steps

Leftover rice turned into a proper meal with eggs, soy and spring onion.

Dummy-proof tip

Cold day-old rice fries best. Fresh warm rice turns to mush.

The steps, in plain English

  1. 1

    Scramble the eggs

    Heat half the oil, pour in the beaten eggs and stir until just set, then tip them onto a plate.
