Campbell sneaks pickled cabbage and fresh peas into his kids' beloved fried rice, which they "don't notice" when mixed with favourite ingredients such as egg and sausage.

Ingredients

1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 organic eggs
2 chorizos, sliced
1/4 packet Chinese pickled cabbage
1/4 packet Chinese salted radish
1 handful freshly shelled peas
1/2 red onion, sliced
1 clove garlic finely chopped
4 fresh shiitake mushrooms
60ml Chinese cooking wine
125ml chicken stock
50ml mushroom soy sauce*
2 cups cooked jasmine rice
100ml oyster sauce
Pepper
250g bean sprouts
Pinch of crispy eschalots
*From Asian shops

Method

Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan. Lightly whisk the eggs and add to oil. Cook quickly and remove egg, set aside. Add chorizo and all vegetables and fry quickly before adding wine, stock and soy. Stir-fry for one minute. Add rice and oyster sauce and mix through vegetables. Push the rice around the pan until there are no lumps. Fold through the egg and season with pepper. Garnish with sprouts and eschallots.
