Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cup cooked rice*
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup bite-size pieces cooked meat or fish
  • 2 cup packed baby spinach, 1 cup cooked small broccoli florets, or 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • leaves from 2 sprigs of thyme
  • 3 tablespoon oyster sauce, plus extra, if needed
Directions
  1. In a wok or large skillet, heat the oil over high heat until it shimmers. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until they start to brown but are still crisp, about 1 minute. Add the rice and heat through, breaking up any chunks and mixing the grains with the oil and onions, about 2 minutes.
  2. Crack the eggs onto the rice and cook until almost set, stirring to break up the yolks and coat the rice, about 1 minute. Add the meat or fish and vegetables and heat through, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Add the thyme and oyster sauce and cook for about 1 minute more, stirring often. Check the seasonings, adding salt or more oyster sauce if needed, then serve hot.
