The ultimate storm comfort food.
For those of us who didn’t adequately stock up before Storm Emma made landfall today, we’re now all scratching our heads about what to make for dinner.
On a normal day there would be no confusion, but the state of nationwide panic has now spread to the kitchen and dinner so far looks like it will consist of a ham sandwich and a cup of tea.
However, with a little digging, we found all the ingredients we’ll need to make this tasty chicken fried rice and we’re sure you’ll have them too.
In less time than it would take a takeaway to be delivered, you’ll have this meal for six ready to serve and will surely be going back for seconds. We recommend doubling up on the ingredients if possible, to get dinner and tomorrow’s lunch sorted in one.
