What you need
Quantities for 2 servings
| Cold cooked rice | 400 g |
|---|---|
| Eggs | 2 eggs |
| Lettuce | 150 g |
| Ham or bacon | 60 g |
| Spring onion, chopped | 2 tbsp |
| Neutral cooking oil | 2 tbsp |
| Salt | 1/2 tsp |

How to make it
- Wash and drain the lettuce and cut it into strips about 1 cm wide.
- Dice the ham and beat the eggs.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook the eggs until about 80 percent set. Scoop them out.
- Add the other tablespoon of oil to the same pan and fry the ham and spring onion until fragrant.
- Add the cold rice, break up any clumps with a spatula and stir-fry for about 3 minutes, until the grains separate.
- Add the salt, soy sauce, white pepper and the eggs, and mix well.
- Turn off the heat, add the lettuce and toss for 30 seconds in the leftover heat, then serve.
Tips
- Day-old rice is less sticky.
- Add the lettuce after the heat is off, so it stays crisp.
- Keep leftover rice in the fridge, and check that it smells fine before you fry it.
