Diana says: "This is one of my children's favourite recipes and can be adapted to suit what you already have in the house (I don't always put in prawns, for example, and sometimes I make it with leftover pork). Tenderstem broccoli is great for this kind of dish because it cooks quickly and provides great colour."

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

2½ tbsp groundnut oil
1 onion , finely sliced
1 red pepper , halved and sliced
200g Tenderstem broccoli , halved horizontally
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 red chillies, halved, deseeded and cut into slivers
350g cooked chicken , cut into chunks
550g cooked rice
4 spring onions , cut on the diagonal
4 eggs, beaten
100g cooked, shelled prawns
4 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tsp soft light brown sugar
1 pinch salt, to season
1 pinch pepper, to season
2 limes, one juiced, the other cut into wedges, to serve
1 4'' piece of cucumber, halved, seeds removed and cut into little cubes
2 tbsp unsalted peanuts, coarsley chopped
1 handful coriander, coarsley chopped

Method

Step 1

Heat 1 tbsp of the groundnut oil in a large frying pan, sauté pan or wok.

Step 2

Add the onion and cook over a medium-high heat until the onions have softened (though still have bite) and are golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 3

Add another tbsp of the oil, heat and stir fry the red pepper for 2 minutes. Now add the Tenderstem broccoli and stir fry for another minute. Add the garlic, chilli and chicken and cook for another 1 ½ minutes.

Step 4

Toss in the rice and spring onions and mix everything together lightly – it’s important not to press the rice or it will become stodgy – and cook till the rice is heated through, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

While you are frying the rice, quickly heat the remaining oil in a non-stick frying pan and add the egg. Cook this as if you are making an omelette, rather than scrambled eggs. Don’t stir the egg but drag the bits which are set round the side into the centre then tip the pan to allow runny egg to set around the outside – keep doing this until it is all cooked.

Step 6

With a sharp knife cut the egg into thin ribbons. Add to the rice along with the prawns, soy sauce, sugar, salt and pepper and onions. Toss and heat through.
