- ¼ yellow pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced
- ¼ orange pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced

- 500g/1lb 2oz cold, cooked rice

Method
Heat the oil to smoking point in a large wok. Add the eggs and swirl with a ladle or spoon, breaking them up as they cook.
Add the spring onions and peppers and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the remaining vegetables, season with salt and pepper, and stir-fry for a couple of minutes until they are softened, but still have a bite.
Add the rice and stir-fry for a few minutes until the rice is piping hot. Season with soy sauce and serve.
