Method

  1. 1

    Beat the eggs. Heat half the groundnut oil in a wok and scramble the eggs briefly until just set, then lift out.

  2. 2

    Add the remaining oil and stir-fry the chicken for 4 minutes, until golden and cooked through with no pink remaining.

  3. 3

    Add the peas and cook for 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the cold rice, breaking up any clumps, and stir-fry for 3 minutes until hot through.

  5. 5

    Return the egg to the wok with the light soy sauce and most of the spring onions, and toss everything together for 2 minutes.

  6. 6

    Scatter with the remaining spring onions and serve immediately.
