5-ingredient Baked Egg Fried Rice,
Prep 05m - Cook 20m - Serves 4


This fried rice recipe may use minimal effort, but it contains maximum flavours. It's a great dish to enjoy with your family (even the youngest foodies at your table will love this bake) and the best part is that it only requires 5 ingredients

The 5 Key ingredients in our baked egg fried rice recipe:

•  Microwave long-grain rice: a sure-fire shortcut to a hearty dinner, microwavable rice is the blank canvas for this baked rice dish.

• Campbell’s Real Stock Salt-reduced Vegetable: bringing full-bodied flavour to the fore, Campbell's Real Stock Salt-reduced Vegetable ensures this baked rice is well seasoned without the need for any added salt (or soy sauce), and ensures the dish doesn't dry out.

• Vegetarian stir-fry sauce: another great 'cheat's' ingredient to bring depth to your dish without adding loads of extra ingredients, vegetarian stir-fry sauce is easy to find in supermarkets. And, it's a budget-friendly alternative to making your own concoction from other sauces.

• Frozen carrots, peas & corn mix: great to have on hand in your freezer for bolstering various meals, this mix cuts down on time chopping veggies, too.

• Eggs: boosting the protein factor in your baked 'fried' rice, 3 eggs, lightly whisked are added to this bake. Handy hint? Compressing the rice mixture helps the whisked egg to sit on top of the mixture, rather than seep through.
  
  Ingredients (7)

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 2 x 450g pkts microwave long-grain rice

  • 250ml (1 cup) Campbell’s Real Stock Salt-Reduced Vegetable

  • 80ml (1/3 cup) vegetarian stir-fry sauce

  • 300g (2 cups) frozen carrots, peas & corn mix

  • 3 eggs, lightly whisked

  • 2 green shallots, thinly sliced diagonally, to serve (optional)
    
    Instructions:

    • Step 1

      Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan forced. Brush a 3cm-deep, 24cm x 37.5cm baking tray with the oil.

    • Step 2

      Use your fingers to separate the rice grains in the packet. Combine rice, carrot, stir-fry sauce and vegetable mix in a large bowl. Arrange in the prepared tray in an even layer. Bake, stirring halfway through with a spatula, for 15 minutes or until stock has evaporated.

    • Step 3

      Stir rice mixture again and then flatten slightly to compress (see note). Season whisked egg, then evenly drizzle over rice mixture. Bake for 5 minutes or until egg is just set.

    • Step 4

      Use a spatula to chop up the egg and toss into the rice mixture to evenly distribute. Serve sprinkled with shallot, if using.
