Ingredients
1 cup long grain rice
Olive or canola oil
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp olive or sesame oil
1 onion, diced
1 red or green capsicum, seeded and diced
1 large carrot, peeled and diced
2 cups cabbage, shredded
1 cup green peas, fresh, canned or frozen
1 cup sweet corn kernels, fresh, canned or frozen
1 cup bean shoots (optional)
2 spring onions, chopped
1 tsp sesame oil

Method
Step 1
Cook rice following packet directions, drain and cool completely. Tip: you can cool the rice faster by spreading rice on a baking try and placing in the fridge.
Step 2
Lightly grease a heated non-stick pan with oil and pour in eggs to make a thin omelette. Cook over gentle heat until set. Transfer to a plate and slice thinly. Set aside.
Step 3
Lightly grease the same pan with oil and cook onion until golden. Add capsicum, carrot, cabbage, peas, corn, bean shoots (if using) and spring onions. Toss well for several minutes.
Step 4
Add rice, 1 tsp sesame oil and sauces. Stir until sauces have mixed through.
Step 5
Fold in sliced omelette. Serve hot.
