Wok

Step 2

When the oil just starts to smoke, add the beaten eggs and stir-fry until they are 80% cooked. Remove the eggs from the wok and set aside.

Step 3

Add a bit more oil to the wok. Once the oil is hot, add the carrot and stir-fry for one minute.

Step 4

Add the peas and corn to the wok and stir-fry for another minute, trying to build a bit of wok hei (the distinct flavour from high-heat wok-frying) onto the vegetables.

Step 5

After 1-2 minutes, remove the vegetables from the wok and set them aside with the eggs.

Step 6

Place the wok back on the heat and add the diced ham.

Step 7

Add the rice along with sugar, salt, and MSG. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the rice is nicely broken up.

Step 8

Add both types of soy sauce to the wok and toss well, along with the greens of the spring onions.

Step 9

To serve, you can place a few spring onions at the bottom of a bowl, pile in the rice, and then turn the bowl out onto another plate for a fancy presentation.
