INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 x 250g packet 90 second microwave brown rice
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups (250g) mixed frozen vegetables (carrots, peas and corn)
  • 1 x 200g tin baby prawns, drained
  • 1 x 180g tin champignons (baby mushrooms), sliced
  • 150g ham, diced
  • 2 tbs pure vegetable oil (go for canola or sunflower)
  • 30ml light soy sauce
METHOD:
  • Tear the corner off the packet of rice and microwave for 90 seconds on high.
  • Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly with 1 tablespoon of cold water using a fork.
  • Heat a large frying pan or wok over a medium heat and add half tablespoon of oil, swirling it around to completely coat it. (Tip: use a piece of paper towel to rub it around and get an even coating).
  • Pour in half the egg mixture and swirl it around to completely coat the wok or pan. Keep swirling over the heat until the egg sets (it should take 1 – 2 minutes), then fold the omelette in half and in half again to make a quarter circle. Flip out onto a chopping board to cool and repeat with the other half of the egg mixture. Once both omelettes have cooled, slice into 5mm strips.
  • Return the wok to the heat and add the remaining tablespoon of oil.
  • Once hot, add the frozen vegetables and stir for 2 – 3 minutes.
  • Add the rice and mix through the vegetables.
  • Add the prawns, mushrooms, ham and omelette strips (or protein of your choice) and cook for another couple of minutes to heat through.
  • Add the soy sauce, mix well, eat and enjoy!
