Instructions
- Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large frying pan over high heat, pour in the eggs and scramble them quickly, then set aside.
- In the same pan, fry the ham, onion and carrot for 4 minutes over medium-high heat.
- Add the cold rice, break it up with the spatula and stir-fry for 5 minutes so it separates and is piping hot.
- Return the eggs, add the soy sauce, dashi powder and pepper, then stir for 2 minutes.
- Finish with the spring onion, give it one last stir and serve immediately.
Variations and tips
Vegetarian version. Replace the ham with crumbled tofu and sweetcorn, and the dashi with a vegetable stock.
