Slimming World's special egg fried rice recipe

Slimming World's special egg fried rice is ideal for those days when you really want to indulge in a takeaway but you don't want all the calories.

This is another one of our most popular Slimming World recipes (opens in new tab) because it's quick, easy and really versatile. If you just want something simple, you can enjoy it on its own, or topped with a little grilled chicken or beef. It's a great way of using up Sunday roast leftovers, just drizzle a little soy sauce over the top and serve. Or pair it with tasty stir fry or sweet and sour dish for a full takeaway / fakeaway experience. The whole dish takes 30 minutes to make (including boiling the rice) but if you're using already-cooked rice, it takes just 10 minutes to fry it.

Ingredients

• Low calorie cooking spray
• 350g cooked and cooled long-grain or jasmine/Thai fragrant rice
• 200g frozen peas
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 tbsp light soy sauce
• 400g fresh bean sprouts, rinsed
• 6 spring onions, very finely sliced

Method

1. Spray a wok or large frying pan with low calorie cooking spray and place over a high heat. When it is almost at smoking point, add the cooked rice and stir-fry for about 3 minutes.
2. Add the peas, stir-fry for 5 minutes and season well. Add the beaten eggs and stir-fry for another minute.
3. Stir in the soy sauce, bean sprouts and most of the spring onion and cook for 2 minutes or until the eggs have set. Scatter over the remaining spring onions to serve.
