Ingredients

  • 500 g lamb mince
  • 500 g cold, cooked white rice (long grain/basmati/jasmine all work well)
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce (or gluten free tamari)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 100 g frozen peas
  • Fresh coriander, chopped spring onions or sliced red chillies to garnish (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Add the cooked rice and continue stir-frying for 3 minutes.
  3. 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.
  4. 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!
  5. 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.
