Ingredients

Snake bean relish

Method

1.Combine rice and enough water to cover by 1cm in a saucepan. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, covered, over low heat until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed (12-14 minutes).
2.Meanwhile, for snake bean relish, heat oil in a wok over high heat. Stirfry beans (1-2 minutes), then remove with a slotted spoon, reserving 2 tbsp oil in wok. Add shallot, garlic and anchovies and fry until crisp (1-2 minutes). Add chilli and beans, stir to combine, drain excess oil and set aside to cool.
3. Heat 125ml oil in a wok over high heat. Add rice and cook, tossing to coat grains, (1-2 minutes). Add remaining ingredients except eggs and cook until combined (1-2 minutes).
4.Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Crack in eggs and cook until soft-fried (2-3 minutes). Serve rice topped with egg and relish to the side.

Anchovy sambal and dried anchovies are available from Asian grocers.
