Classic Cantonese Fried Rice
Heat oil and fry spring onions for 1 minute. Push aside and crack eggs in to cook until set. Cut up roughly and add rice, pork or ham and shrimps. Stir vigorously for 3 minutes and add peas and all other seasonings. Stir for 3 minutes more and serve garnished with more chopped spring onions.
One of the best-travelled Chinese dishes of all and turning up in myriad guises, it is a Cantonese invention, deriving from the pragmatic need to recycle leftovers! Some versions are positively ambrosial with lots of premium ingredients like crabmeat and lobster.
