Method

  1. 1

    Heat half the vegetable oil in a large wok and stir-fry the chicken for 6-7 minutes, until cooked through with no pink remaining. Lift out.

  2. 2

    Add the garlic, ginger and red pepper to the wok and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Push everything to one side, pour the beaten eggs into the gap and scramble for 1-2 minutes until just set.

  4. 4

    Add the rice and remaining oil and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, breaking up any clumps.

  5. 5

    Return the chicken to the wok with the soy sauce and most of the spring onions and toss for 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Scatter with the remaining spring onions and serve straight away.
