Ingredients

2 tbsp vegetable oil
Bunch of spring onions, chopped
100g frozen peas
500g ready-cooked Thai fragrant rice
2 large free-range eggs, beaten
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tsp sesame oil
Lime wedges, to serve

Method

Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan until very hot, then add the spring onions and stir-fry over a high heat for 1 minute. Add the peas, cook for a further minute, then add the rice and toss well.
Make a well in the centre of the rice and pour in the eggs. When the bottom starts to set, scramble the eggs, then stir through the rice. Stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil and season to taste.
Divide the rice among bowls and top with the stir-fried beef recipe. Serve with lime wedges to squeeze over.
