Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at major retailers like Spar or Shoprite. Look for ham and fresh produce in the refrigerated sections, and canned peas in the pantry aisles.
Preparation method
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan.
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them thoroughly.
- Add the beaten eggs to the hot oil and scramble lightly, stirring constantly until they start to set but are not fully cooked, as they will continue to cook later with the rice.
- Season the scrambled eggs with salt and set them aside.
- In a separate pan, heat the remaining oil and sauté the chopped spring onions for a few moments.
- Add the cooked, cold rice to the pan and stir quickly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, if you are using it.
- Fold in the diced ham and peas, continuing to stir and heat through.
- Break the reserved scrambled eggs into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Incorporate the egg pieces into the rice, mixing well and cooking until all ingredients are perfectly combined and hot throughout.
