Preparation

Step 1

Place the rice into a large mug and cover with cling film. Using a knife, puncture one or two small holes through the film. This step is important! You don't want to scald yourself. Lay all vegetables on top. Cover the mug with the cling film, and microwave for a minute.

In the meantime, beat the egg and mix in the seasoning (soy sauce, sesame oil, onion powder, and five-spice powder). Pour the egg mixture into the mug, and mix well.

Cover the mug with cling film again, and microwave for 1 minute 15 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds. Take the mug out of the microwave, and give everything a good stir. Let the fried rice stand for a minute to finish cooking. Use a fork to fluff up the rice and serve..
