- 3 eggs, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- handful of dried shrimps, soaked in boiling water for 10 minutes and chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Method
- Use pre cooked plain boiled rice
or
- Rinse the rice in a sieve under cold running water for a few minutes to remove any starch

- Add the rice and chopped shrimps and stir-fry until thoroughly heated
- Pour the egg mixture into the rice and stir-fry until the egg is cooked
- Remove the 2 slices of ginger and serve immediately
Variations
- Pre-soak some dried shrimp in just boiled water for 15 - 30 minutes to rehydrate, roughly chop and add with the vegetables for a more authentic dish.
- Add finely chopped bacon with the onions and garlic
- Sliced red and green bell peppers for some additional colour
- A few dried red chillies with the onion and garlic if you like it hot!
Peeling ginger
There is no need to peel ginger. As a result of attending a Thai cookery demo, we have learnt that peeling ginger is unnecessary unless for aesthetic purposes as the skin is high in fibre and full of flavour. However, do remove any bits that have become tough or woody.
