2 tablespoon peanut oil

2 eggs, lightly beaten

3 clove garlic, crushed

1 cup (120g) frozen peas

8 green onions, finely sliced

1/4 cup (60ml) soy sauce

1 tablespoon fish sauce

4 cup cold cooked rice

1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves

Method

1.Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a wok on high. Add eggs; swirl to coat sides of wok. Cook 30 seconds, until egg sets. Slide omelette onto a board, roll up and slice thinly. Set aside.

2.Heat remaining oil in wok on high. Add carrot; stir-fry 2 minutes. Add garlic, peas and half of the green onion and stir-fry 1 minute.

3.Add combined sauces; simmer 1 minute. Stir through rice; toss for 1 minute, until combined and rice is heated through. Add omelette, coriander and remaining green onion. Toss to combine; serve.

You will need to use 1-1 1/2 cups of raw rice to make this recipe. For meat lovers, add either a diced chicken breast or 500g green prawns to the wok with the peas to make this more substantial. Stir-fry for an extra 5 minutes, before adding the rice.
