Heat a tablespoon rapeseed oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Add the bacon and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add half the scallions, the mushrooms, chilli, garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes.

Add in the rice, remaining scallions and soy sauce. Cook until heated through stirring all the time. Taste and season with a little salt and black pepper.

To poach the eggs: Bring a large pan of water the boil. Reduce to a gentle simmer and add the white wine vinegar and a little salt. Break two of the eggs into the water and simmer for 3-4 minutes until just cooked but still soft on the inside.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well on kitchen paper. Repeat with the other two eggs.

To serve: Divide the fried rice between four serving bowls. Top each bowl of rice with a poached egg. Serve with brown soda bread.
