Method

  1. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a low heat and scramble the eggs, stirring frequently until just cooked. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Return the pan to the heat and add the oil, onion and carrots. Cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
  3. Add the peas, rice, chicken and a splash of water, and heat through.
  4. Stir through the sweetcorn, eggs, soy and sweet chilli sauce to combine, and serve immediately.

This is a great way of using up leftover meat and vegetables. It works brilliantly with prawns, cooked pork and beef too.
