Pheasant Fried Rice

Rustle up this quick and simple twist on the classic egg fried rice with tender pheasant breast for two protein-packed servings made in just a wok. Made from almost entirely cupboard staples, this recipe is great to cook mid-week when you’re running low on groceries.

Preparation

  • Prep time: 20 minutes
  • Cook time: 10 minutes
  • Serves: 2 people

Equipment

  • Wok or large skillet

Ingredients

  • 2 diced pheasant breasts
  • 1/2 chopped onion
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp oil (vegetable or sunflower)
  • 180g cooked brown rice
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 drops of sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 128g combined frozen carrots and peas

Instructions

  1. Use leftover rice or cook your rice before starting, so it’s ready to use.

  2. Start by heating 1 tbsp of the oil in a wok or large skillet on a medium-high heat, then add the onion and garlic. Colour them gently, then remove from the pan to cool.

  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low.

  4. Whisk 2 eggs and 2 drops of sesame oil together with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Swirl the eggs to cover the entire pan, and allow them to set a little, before flipping and cooking the other side. Remove to a plate to cool.

  5. Add the remaining tbsp of oil to the pan and then add the pheasant breast along with some salt and pepper. Brown off the breast in the pan.

  6. Add the mixture of peas and carrots to the pan with the pheasant and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then add the onion/garlic mixture, along with the cooked rice and soy sauce. Combine well.

  7. Finally, once everything is nearly ready, add the scrambled eggs to the mixture and combine, before removing from the heat and serving.
