Method

  1. Heat a deep frying pan, a skillet or a wok on the stove over high heat, add 1 tablespoon butter or oil and cook the eggs. As they begin to set break it up into smaller pieces or cook as one large pancake and cut into slices. Set aside.

  3. Turn up the heat to high, add capsicums, peas, soy sauce, and pepper, stir fry for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add rice and heat through, mix in spinach and spring onions, mix to combine, and test taste. Add a little more soy sauce and/or pepper as desired. Stir through cooked eggs.
  5. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil (if using), briefly stir through and serve.
