Ingredients

500 g turkey breast mince
500 g cooked brown rice (I use 2 x Tesco Microwave Wholegrain Rice 250G – see Note 1)
2 large eggs beaten

2 tablespoons soy sauce
100 g frozen peas
2 spring onions AKA scallions, sliced finely (plus extra for garnish)

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Stir-fry the turkey mince in a wok or very large non-stick frying pan over a high heat for 4 minutes, or until nicely browned.
Add the cooked rice (See Note 1), and continue stir-frying for 2 minutes.
Make a well (hole) in the centre of the rice/turkey mix and tip in the beaten eggs. Leave for 45 seconds and then stir the part-cooked eggs into the rice/turkey mix.
Add the frozen peas and continue stir-frying for 2 more minutes or until the peas are cooked and you are starting to get lots of lovely crispy bits!
Stir through the soy sauce, sesame oil and spring onions and turn off the heat.
Serve scattered with coriander, chopped spring onions and/or sliced red chillies.

Notes

I use pouches of wholegrain microwave rice to speed up the cooking process and make this recipe even simpler. But, if you prefer, you can use ordinary uncooked brown or long grain white rice instead. You will need to use approximately 167g uncooked rice. Cook according to packet instructions then cool the hot rice in a sieve under cold water until it’s properly cold, and drain thoroughly. **TOP TIP: break up the microwave rice by massaging it while it is still in the closed packet. This will ensure the cooked rice is beautifully separated and not in one big clump!**
