Ingredients for  1  Serving

  • 250g
    Pouch microwavable rice

    Leftover roast chicken (or shop-bought cooked chicken), shredded
  • 50g
    Frozen peas

Approximate Times

  • Preparation :
    Less than 30 minutes
  • Cooking :
    Less than 10 minutes

Method

  1. Heat half the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat until it just starts to smoke. Add the egg and quickly stir-fry until just under-cooked. Remove from the wok and set aside.
  2. Heat the rest of the oil in the wok and add the spring onions and frozen peas. Stir-fry until the peas have defrosted.
  3. Squeeze the rice pouch a few times to break up the rice, then add the rice to the pan with the roast chicken. Stir-fry until the rice has started to crisp a little and the chicken is hot through.
  4. Stir in the cooked egg, toasted sesame oil and soy sauce and serve.

Notes

You can cook your own rice, but make sure it has cooled properly before using, as it may become sticky if fried when hot.
