Spicy vegetable egg-fried rice

• Serves 4 • Prep 10 mins • Cook 15-20 mins

200g basmati rice or 400g leftover cooked rice
1-2 red chillies, deseeded and grated or very finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp sunflower oil
2 large carrots, chopped
200g Chinese cabbage, finely sliced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 spring onions, sliced
200g frozen peas
1 tbsp soy sauce

1 If cooking the rice from scratch, cook 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 the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the carrots and stir-fry for 5 mins until tender. Add the cabbage and garlic & chilli paste and cook for 1 min more. Tip in the cooked rice and stir-fry for 1 min until piping hot.
