I didn’t follow a recipe, one of my objectives was to teach Conor how to make something like this out of whatever he had in the fridge. I’ve listed the ingredients I used but everything except for rice, egg and soy sauce is optional and any cooked meat is suitable.
Conor and Aidan were happy to eat this cold for packed lunch the next day. However do be cautious about how long cooked rice is left out of the fridge. Uncooked rice can contain spores of Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that can cause food poisoning and these spores can survive cooking. If the rice is left standing at room temperature, the spores can grow into bacteria. These bacteria will multiply and may produce toxins (poisons) that cause vomiting or diarrhoea. The longer cooked rice is left at room temperature, the more likely it is that the bacteria or toxins could make the rice unsafe to eat.
