IGTV: Store Cupboard Tuna & Egg Fried Rice

So, I actually did something that I talked about doing: IGTV!

I’m very much ‘dipping my toes’ in the deep waters of the Instagram video world, and this is my first attempt. Turns out trying to sautee an onion whilst fulfilling my role as a budding videographer (lol) is easier said than done – but I’m giving myself kudos for adding cool dissolve transitions between shots. Adds an edge, I feel.

For now I’m focusing on creating quick, easy to follow recipes using basic ingredients you can pick up at your local shop. With lockdown, getting our hands on fancy ingredients isn’t as easy – and since many who are isolating alone or feeling the stress, having that inspiration and drive to cook decent meals can be, very understandably, lacking.

So with these simple dishes, I hope it gives people that ‘Hey! I could make that too!’ moment: with simple staple products you can keep in the cupboard/freezer and spruce up with a little seasoning here and there. This tuna and egg rice dish is a bit of a hybrid between kedgeree and egg fried rice – also, a brilliant way to use up leftover rice if you have some. It’s cheap, accessible and down right delicious, if I do say so myself!

Head to my Instagram (below) to see me giving this whole IGTV thing a go. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for more!
