Brussels sprouts and bacon fried rice

Sprouts can be divisive but here's a dish to take your brussels in a novel direction - give 'em a stir fry! 

 

Ingredients:

• Approx 150g brussels sprouts - very finely chopped
• 1.5 cups brown rice (cooked and allowed to cool)
• 4 rashers of streaky bacon (chopped)
• 1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1-2 tbsps of soy sauce
• few sliced spring onions
• toasted sesame oil
• 2-4 eggs
• chilli and garlic paste (for serving)

(Serves two)

 

Method:

1) I poach my eggs ahead of time (I favour a soft, runny yolk) and set aside.

2) Add bacon to a wok or heavy-based frying pan and fry until crispy.

3) Stir fry the sprouts for 5-6 mins until the sprouts are softened. Add the garlic.

4) Add in the rice, the spring onions, the soy sauce and the sesame oil. Continue cooking, adding a touch more oil if required, until the rice is heated through, and if preferred, a touch crispy.

5) Serve with the poached egg on top and finish with a liitle chilli and garlic paste. Devour!
