Method

  1. If making the rice from scratch, cook it following pack instructions, then drain. Mix the chillies and garlic (in a pestle and mortar, if you have one) with a pinch of salt, to make a paste.
  2. Heat oil in a wok or large frying pan on a medium-high heat. Add the carrots and stir-fry for 5 mins until tender. Add the cabbage and chilli paste and cook for 1 min more. Tip in the cooked basmati or leftover rice and stir-fry for 1 min until piping hot.
  3. Push the rice mixture to one side of the pan. Add the eggs to the cleared space and scramble until set. Mix in the onions, peas and soy and stir-fry everything together until the peas are hot.

    Thought this was really tasty - a great side dish when cutting down, and just the right level of spice - plenty for four servings also. I made it with Good Food's chicken skewers with lime.

    Quite good, but not awe-inspiring. I am still unsure why they say to scramble the egg on the side. We ended up with lumps of scrambled egg in every few bites rather than egg throughout. Not sure if it was because we did something wrong? Next time I would probably just mix the egg in over everything and *cross my fingers* hope it cooks. To repeat with changes. The portion size it makes up though is generous, which is great!

    I made this for tonight's dinner as we are calorie counting and it was delicious! I added a sprinkling of chinese five spice, some broccoli and some quorn chicken style pieces and we loved it. Looking forward to having it cold for lunch tomorrow!
