Method

  • step 1

    Heat half the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a highish heat. Pour in the beaten egg, swoosh it around the pan and leave it to set for a minute. Flip it over like a pancake and let it cook for a minute more on the otherside, then tip it out flat on to a plate.

  • step 2

    Heat the remaining oil in the same pan. Tip in the onion and sizzle for 3-4 minutes until it’s starting to brown, then stir in the garlic, curry powder and ketchup. Add the peas and cook for a minute or two until they start to defrost. Tip in the rice, cooked meat and a glass of water (100ml/31⁄2fl oz) and cook over a medium heat for 5-6 minutes, stirring as you go, until everything’s piping hot and the rice has taken on the colour of the curry powder.

  • step 3

    While your rice is frying, shred the omelette into long strips. Toss the omelette and soy sauce through the rice and cook for a moment more. Scoop the rice on to plates straight from the pan and serve with extra soy sauce for sprinkling over.

I've made this a few times over the years with different leftover meats usually chicken or roast beef. This time I made it with leftover Gammon, I left out the peas and added mushrooms and peppers. Tasted amazing with the Gammon. Will try pork next time or possibly even minced beef. Great easy to…

Loved this. Thank you to whoever suggested using wine in the recipe. It worked great.

question

What weight of uncooked rice makes 250 g of cooked rice?

Hi, thanks for your question. It does vary slightly depending on the rice but 100g should give you 250g - 300g cooked rice. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
