Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Place a large non-stick frying pan or wok on a high heat and add 1 tbsp vegetable oil. If you have a few eggs that need using up, crack 2 medium eggs into the oil and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until they scramble. Remove the eggs from the pan and set to one side.
Step 2
Add a further 1 tbsp oil to the still hot frying pan or wok and add 1 sliced onion, 2 diced carrots, 2 diced courgette, 1 diced pepper and (or) any other vegetables that you have prepared and would like to use in your stir-fry. A few examples include small florets of broccoli, green beans, mange tout, corn or shredded cabbage. Cook the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 3
Add 2 cloves chopped garlic to the vegetables and cook for a further 1-2 minutes. Pour in 500g cooked rice and mix well. Heat through for a further 2-3 minutes along with 5 tbsp soy sauce as well as 2 tbsp of sweet chilli sauce or kecap manis (whatever you have in the cupboard that needs using). Stir through the optional 100g peas and the cooked egg. Turn off the heat and divide between 4 bowls.
