Steps:
- Use a fork to fluff up the rice and break it apart. If you're using freshly cooked rice, let it stand on the counter uncovered until it stops steaming before fluffing it. If you decide to refrigerate the rice overnight in advance of preparing this recipe, it will clump up; you can then use your hands to break up the cold rice clumps into individual grains.
- Beat 3 eggs in one bowl. Beat the other 2 eggs in another bowl, along with 2 tablespoons water, the paprika, and the turmeric. Set these two bowls aside.
- Heat a wok over medium high heat, and add 2 tablespoons oil. Add the 3 beaten eggs (without the spices), and scramble them. Remove them from the wok and set aside.
- Heat wok over high heat, and add the last tablespoon oil. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Next, add the rice and stir-fry for 2 minutes, using a scooping motion to heat the rice uniformly. Use your wok spatula to flatten out and break up any rice clumps. Next, pour the uncooked egg and spice mixture over the rice, and stir-fry for about 1 minute, until all of the rice grains are coated in egg.
- Add the peas and stir fry continuously for another minute. Next spread the salt, sugar, and black pepper over the rice and mix. You should now see some steam coming off the rice, which means it is heated through.
- If the rice looks a little dry, feel free to sprinkle in some water or chicken stock. Adding some liquid directly to any remaining clumps of rice will also help to break them up. Mix in the scrambled eggs and scallions and serve!

Steps:
- Wash rice and soak for 30 mins. Meanwhile bring 5 to 6 cups water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Drain the water from the soaked rice and add it to the boiling water. If you want you can add half teaspoon salt and cook.
- When the rice is cooked al dente (meaning the rice has a bite to it and not fully cooked), drain it to a colander. Do not over cook the rice. Cool completely.
- Chop the veggies and garlic. Break the eggs to a bowl and beat until fluffy.
- To be cooked on high flame. Heat a pan with oil, add chopped garlic. Fry for 30 seconds. Add spring onion whites and fry for a minute.
- Add chopped veggies and fry for about 2 minutes. Do not make them mushy, they should be crunchy and half cooked. Slide the veggies to one side of the pan.
- Reduce the flame to medium. Pour eggs and scramble them. Cook till they are soft, fluffy almost cooked but not overcooked.
- Increase the heat and pour the soya sauce, vinegar and any hot sauce if you prefer. The soya hits the hot pan and emits some steam. This imparts a nice Chinese flavor.
- Add cooled rice, ground black pepper and spring onion greens. If you want you may add some toasted sesame oil and it's optional.
- Fry on the highest flame for about 2 minutes. Adjust salt and spice as needed.
- Garnish egg fried rice with some spring onions and serve.

HAM FRIED RICE WITH EGGS
This family-friendly dinner comes together quickly on a busy weeknight, all in one skillet. As the eggs cook atop the rice, the rice forms an irresistible crispy layer on the bottom. Starting with purchased matchstick-cut carrots cuts down on prep work, and the slender pieces cook much more quickly than chopped carrots.

VEGETABLE EGG FRIED RICE
Light and fluffy are words that should describe well-made fried rice. It shouldn't be weighed down with soy sauce or oil. Using eggs is the key to keeping it light. Cooking the rice right into the wet egg creates a pillowy, fluffy fried rice.
