Ingredients

  • 5 cups cooked basmati rice
  • 50 grams fresh ginger grated/shredded
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • a few drops approx 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon spring onions
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a wok on a medium heat. It is important not to overheat the oil as it will burn the ginger.
  • Add the shredded ginger and fry it for half a minute. Take care not to brown it.
  • Add the cooked rice and mix everything well on a high heat for about a minute and a half.
  • Add salt & pepper to taste and mix. Drizzle with the sesame oil for that oriental touch (only if you will serve it with an oriental side dish)
  • Garnish with chopped spring onion greens and serve hot with any side dish of your choice.
