Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Set a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add half the sesame oil, the broccoli, grated garlic and ginger paste. Fry for 3-4 minutes, until the broccoli is browned and garlic golden. Take care not to burn the garlic.

Step 2

Add the remaining sesame oil and the rice, stirring to break it up. Let the rice brown in places before stirring again. Repeat for 3-5 minutes, until the rice is heated through.

Step 3

Turn the heat down to low and push the rice mixture to one side of the pan. Add the beaten eggs to the empty half. Return the pan to the heat and stir the eggs for 1-2 minutes, until just set.

Step 4

Take the pan off the heat, then add the soy sauce and sliced spring onions and stir to combine. Serve straightaway, adding more soy sauce to taste.
