Special fried rice


Now I was out and about all today so as a result haven't used any of my food from my budget shopping. This has meant I've got a lot left over which needed to be used pronto, especially the rice and broccoli which were both beginning to take on a weird fridge smell. One of the things I have been wanting to recreate is special fried rice, and when better than if you have cauliflower rice, misc meats and some eggs left over. I portioned it into 4 and froze the portions so I can use them as lunch or dinner as I have a busy week coming up.

Ingredients (makes 4 portions)

300g Cauliflower rice
150g Broccoli Florets
100g Chorizo chopped
3 pork shoulder steaks cooked and chopped
4 eggs beaten
1tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp basil
1 glug of oil

You will also need: a knife and chopping board, boxes for storage and a large frying pan.


  1. Chop everything, the chorizo/pork steaks and broccoli florets.
  2. Beat the eggs and set them to one side.
  3. Heat some oil in the frying pan and coat the pan.
  4. Add the cauliflower rice and fry for roughly 5 minutes constantly turning.
  5. Create some space on one side of the pan and pour the eggs into the gap.
  6. Stir the eggs into the rice.
  7. Continue stirring until the rice and egg is fully incorporated (don't worry if it forms massive clumps it will break up again)
  8. Add the chorizo and continue frying.
  9. Finally add in the broccoli then the pork steak.
  10. Continue cooking with constant stirring to make sure the egg doesn't burn or stick.
  11. When the broccoli is cooked but still has a crunch take off the heat.
  12. Portion into 4 separate containers.
