Fried Rice Omelette
If you are craving something spicy and ricy, this is it! That XO sauce deserves it's own recipe and we will attend to that, but in the meantime!
I love a good fried rice. I used to pretty much empty the fridge drawers into my fried rice when my kids were little, then of course there had to be egg folded through. So this is a take on that, but we are wrapping the rice in the egg! And as for the XO sauce. You can buy XO sauce but it is never going to be as good as homemade. Make sure you remember you have it in the fridge once you make it and drizzle on everything that needs a flavour lift!
So good. Hope you love it too!
