Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Thinly slice button mushrooms and spring onion. Trim baby broccoli and cut any thick stalks lengthways. • Drain the sweetcorn. Cut lemon into wedges.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook baby broccoli until tender, 5-6 minutes. • Add a drizzle of sesame oil and season. Transfer to a bowl.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook carrot, sweetcorn and mushrooms until softened, 6-7 minutes. • Meanwhile, heat the microwavable basmati rice in the microwave until steaming, 2-3 minutes.
• Add garlic to the frying pan and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add ssamjang paste, Asian stir-fry sauce and vegetable stock powder and cook, stirring, until reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Add the heated rice and cook, stirring, until well combined and the moisture has evaporated, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add spring onion and a squeeze of lemon juice and stir to combine. Transfer to serving bowls.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, crack the eggs into the pan. • Cook until egg whites are firm and yolks are cooked to your liking, 2-3 minutes.
• Divide fried rice between bowls. Top with a fried egg and sesame greens. • Sprinkle with crispy shallots and serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The ssamjang and stir-fry sauce create a bold, satisfying flavour; some reviewers found it a touch sweet or salty, so adjust the sauce quantity to taste.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to assemble, with most steps coming together efficiently in one pan.
- Suggestions: Add gochujang or extra chilli to boost heat if you prefer more spice; use only a portion of the Asian sauce if you find it too sweet or intense. One reviewer added extra spring onion and a drizzle of Japanese mayonnaise as a garnish, which worked well.
- Portions: A few reviewers noted the portion felt on the smaller side; topping up with extra rice or adding more vegetables is an easy way to make it more filling.
- Next-day meals: One reviewer found the second portion tasted even better after freezing and reheating, so it keeps well.
