FAKEAWAYS: FRIED RICE
No need to head to the takeaway shop, you can make a delicious (and huge) portion of fried rice in your own kitchen. Filling and tasty, you can adapt the recipe to suit your family’s taste buds by swapping and changing the meat and veggie inclusions.

Here’s a tasty Chicken and Veggie version from Food in a Minute (you can simply substitute in your own fresh or frozen veggies if you don’t have the suggested bag on hand).

Chicken and Veggie

2 eggs, beaten

½ Tbsp sesame oil

200g chicken tenderloins, cut into thin strips

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

2 Spring onions, sliced

1½ cups cooked long grain rice

¼ cup sweet chilli sauce

½ Tbsp soy sauce

1 x 160g bag Wattie’s SteamFresh Sweet Corn, Carrots and Broccoli

chopped coriander leaves (optional)

lime wedges (optional)

Method
Step 1
Heat a dash of oil in a wok or non stick frying pan. Add beaten eggs and cook for 1 minute, stirring until they are softly scrambled. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 2
Add the sesame oil to the pan. When heated add chicken and stir fry for 5 minutes, until chicken is coloured. Add garlic and spring onions and continue stir frying until chicken is cooked and onions soft.

Step 3
Add cooked rice, sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce and continue cooking until rice is hot. While the rice is cooking microwave Wattie’s SteamFresh Vege Mixes according to packet instructions.

Step 4
Just before serving toss through the cooked egg and vegetables. Serve immediately garnished with freshly chopped coriander leaves and lime wedges if wished.
