2 large carrots, chopped
200g Chinese cabbage, finely sliced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
3 spring onions, sliced
200g frozen peas

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.
