Barbecued pork fried rice

Ingredients

• oil, for cooking
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 6 spring onions (scallions), thinly sliced
• 2 small carrots, finely diced
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 250 g (9 oz) barbecued pork, sliced
• 550 g (1 lb 4 oz/3 cups) hot cooked long-grain rice
• 155 g (5½ oz/1 cup) frozen peas
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 small handful coriander (cilantro) leaves

Instructions

Heat a wok over high heat. Add a splash of oil, then the egg. Swirl well to coat the side of the wok with the egg mixture. Cook briefly, then lift one edge away from the wok and roll up the omelette. Tip onto a chopping board and allow to cool.

Return the wok to the heat. Add a splash of oil and the spring onions and carrot. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring often. Add the garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the pork, the hot rice and the peas. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until everything is hot, stirring often.

Slice the omelette thinly and add to the wok. Cook briefly, then add the soy sauce and coriander and serve.
