Ingredients
- 500 g lamb mince
- 500 g white rice long grain/basmati/jasmine all work well, cold, cooked
- 2 egg beaten, large
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce (or gluten free tamari)

- 100 g peas frozen
- Coriander fresh, chopped or sliced, garnish optional
- spring onion

Instructions
- Stir-fry the lamb mince in a wok or very large non-stick frying pan over a high heat until browned. Drain off as much of the fat as possible.
- Add the cooked rice and continue stir-frying for 3 minutes.
- Make a well in the centre of the rice/lamb mix and add the beaten egg. Allow to cook for 30 seconds, then mix in with the rice/lamb mix and stir-fry for a further 3 minutes.
- Add the soy sauce, sesame oil and peas and cook for 1 more minute or until the peas are cooked and you are starting to get lots of lovely crispy bits!
- Serve scattered with coriander, chopped spring onions or sliced red chillies.

Notes
- To create 500g cold, cooked rice, simply cook 200g long grain, basmati or jasmine rice in 400ml boiling water, over a low heat, with the lid on, until the water is all absorbed and the rice is cooked through (usually 7-10 mins). Cool it down by putting the rice in a large sieve and running cold water over it until cool, then drain thoroughly.
