Method

1. Boil the brown rice in salted water until al dente, then drain and let it dry well.
2. Heat half of the olive oil in a large non-stick pan or wok over high heat.
3. Lightly beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and scramble them quickly in the pan for 1-2 minutes, then set aside.
4. In the same pan, add the remaining oil and sauté the sliced spring onion and frozen peas for 4-5 minutes.
5. Add the diced ham and the cooked rice to the pan, stir-frying everything together for 3 minutes to toast the grains.
6. Return the scrambled eggs to the pan, toss well to combine all flavors, and serve hot.

Tips

• For the best texture, use rice cooked the day before and kept in the fridge.
• Add a splash of soy sauce at the end if you want a more intense savory flavor.
