Change to: servings US Metric
1 cup long grain rice
1 1/2 cups boiling water
3 teaspoons vegemite
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 cup tiny cooked shrimp
1 cup small button mushrooms, halved
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce or barbecue sauce
1 cup bean sprouts
2 eggs, lightly beaten
DIRECTION:
1. Add rice to boiling water in a saucepan, stir in Vegemite, reduce heat and cook 15-20 minutes, until rice is tender. Set aside in fridge to cool completely. (The secret to fluffy fried rice is to use cold cooked rice; otherwise, it’ll be sticky).
2. Heat a frying pan or wok, add a little oil and stir fry onion, garlic and bacon until onion is tender and bacon cooked through.
3. Add shrimp and fry 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
4. Add vegetables and hoisin sauce and stir fry a further 2 minutes.
5. Stir in cooked rice and bean sprouts until heated.
6. Scramble the eggs, roughly chop, then fold into rice mixture thoroughly. Serve hot.
