Method

  1. Heat olive oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat.
  2. Add finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger; stir‑fry 1‑2 minutes.
  3. Push aromatics to the side, crack the egg into the pan and scramble quickly.
  4. Add the cold cooked rice, breaking up any clumps; stir‑fry for 3 minutes.
  5. Stir in soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, chilli flakes, salt and pepper; toss until evenly coated.
  6. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice, give one last quick toss, and serve hot.

Cold, day‑old rice works best – it stays separate and gives that perfect ‘fried’ texture.
