Chinese-style Fried Rice

Serve as a meal for 4 or as part of a banquet for 4–6. Only use the freshest eggs for this. By scrambling the eggs first, you retain the very best qualities of the eggs – fluffy, light texture and vibrant yellow hue. This is delicious served with some freshly sliced chilli.
