2. In a clean wok, heat and add rest of oil. Crack eggs into wok. Using a wok spatula, break the eggs into small lumps. Stir for a minute.
3. Add in diced chicken. Stir until chicken turns an opaque colour. Add cooked anchovy. Stir to mix well.
4. Add rice, ‘de-lump’ as you stir. Add sugar. Stir for a further minute or until everything is well mixed.
