Preparation method
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Whisk the eggs in a small bowl until well combined.
- Add the beaten eggs to the hot pan and scramble them quickly, ensuring they remain soft, as they will cook further with the rice.
- Season the scrambled eggs with a pinch of salt and remove from the pan, setting them aside.
- In the same pan, heat the remaining oil and sauté the sliced spring onions for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Add the cold cooked rice to the pan, tossing quickly to ensure it doesn't stick to the base.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, if using.
- Fold in the diced ham and peas, continuing to stir until everything is well combined and thoroughly heated.
- Break the reserved scrambled eggs into smaller pieces with your spatula.
- Fold the egg pieces into the rice, mixing well until all ingredients are evenly distributed and steaming hot.
