Step 1 · Cook the Rice
Cook the rice in the rice cooker. For the best fried-rice texture, cook it earlier, cool it promptly and refrigerate it; otherwise spread freshly cooked rice on a tray for 10 minutes so excess steam can escape.
Step 2 · Cook the Eggs
Heat half the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the eggs, stir until just set, then transfer them to a plate.
Step 3 · Brown the Beef
Add the remaining oil and the beef. Cook for 5 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until browned.
Step 4 · Cook the Vegetables
Add the onion and carrot. Cook for 3 minutes, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Step 5 · Stir-fry the Rice
Add the peas and 900 g of the cooked rice. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until hot.
Step 6 · Combine and Serve
Stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and cooked egg. Toss for 1 minute, until the sugar has dissolved, and serve with lime. Put chilli sauce on the table for adults rather than adding it to the pan.
