  Really yummy! A real staple because it can be just thrown together at the last minute!! It is also nice with a tablespoon of Thai fish sauce too!

  Consider replacing the butter with a small amount of fish sauce (as someone else mentioned) to give it a more Asian flavour.

  Hi, I too have been making this for years, but usually add some raisins or dried apricot chopped small, also always add a handful of peanuts, adds a nice crunch....

  I call this type of dish a "Gerry's Bitza" or a "Cambridge Special" It is different every time but always goes down well.

  This is an old favourite of mine, too. Never tried fish sauce though, sounds like a great idea. I find peas fry up nicer straight from frozen than boiling them separately!

  Very nice. I didn't use oil to fry the bacon - just let the fat render (much lighter and healthier). Next time will add some snipped herbs and a bit of chilli powder.

  This was delicious; my 7 year old ate it all up which is always a bonus. I made half and this happily fed 3. I added a bit more bacon but a great way to use up leftover brown meat from a chicken (I've got very bored of pie or curry)
