Egg fried rice

Left over rice?  Left over meat? ...both?

We had left over ham, from yesterday's roast, and fresh veg - so -leaving the tins in the cupboard (after tonight's instructions for 3 weeks lock down we might need them later) - I thought egg fried rice - tasty- and we've not had it for a while.

We have veggie, gluten reducing*, lactose free and veg dodger in this house - so this is a one(ish) dinner which copes with all requirements.

I used standard soy sauce which is generally not gf -* use gf sashimi sauce if you need to be totally gf.

Rice (I used jasmine thai - but face it folks - use what you have)

Goundnut oil (or whatever you have - I wouldn't recommend olive oil - but otherwise - just some cooking fat)
Veg …. we used the list below, but substitute etc to your taste and availability ..
spring onion
garlic
ginger
carrot
mushrooms
red pepper
courgette
Rice wine vinegar (or cider vinegar, or lime juice - I don't recommend chippy vinegar)
Soy sauce
Eggs


Optional - chopped cooked ham

1.  Cook the rice (or use leftovers, or microwave rice)
2.  Chop the veg into small pieces … julienne etc … it can be a bit fiddly, but it cuts down cooking time - so give it a go - cut the veg into smallish pieces (it also makes it more difficult for the fussier to pick it out).  Fry gently in oil for a few minutes - stirring often.
3.  chuck the rice on top of the veg, splosh on some soy sauce and rice vinegar (optional) -stir in -  keep moving in the pan.
4.  Turn the heat right down.  Flatten the rice/veg mix - pour over the whisked eggs.
5. Leave to stand - a final couple of stirs to make sure the egg is cooked, and then mixed through. 
6. serve, scoff xxx
Eh voila (The veg dodger had thirds! - also thirds of the chopped ham mixed through it)
