Chinese Fresh Food
I felt like having chinese food, but rather than going to the buffet or the restaurant I decided to make my own Chinese inspired meal. My farourite part of cooking this dish was frying all of the beautiful green vegetables. I hadn't had broccoli in sucha long time and I also made a new omlette recipe while I was cooking this dish. See my tips for 'Saffy's Sweet Pea Omlette'.
This recipe was taken from Morrison's Magazine Jan/ Feb 2012

2 tbsp vegetable oil, 2 eggs lightly beaten, pinch of black pepper, 2 garlic cloves (peeled and chopped), 150g broccoli cut into small pieces, 4 chopped spring onions, 100g frozen peas, 400g brown rice (cooked and cooled), 2 tbsp soy sauce, sesame oil for tatse.

1. Fry eggs in wok with a little olive oil and season with black pepper.
2. Keep stirring eggs for 1 - 2 minutes until the eggs are cooked and lightly browned.

6. Add the spring onions and peas then cook 2 minutes.
7. Add the rice and stir in until the rice is piping hot.

Saffy's Sweet Pea Omlette
1. Heat oil in a pan and add a handful of chopped frozen peas and if you like 1/4 of a chopped onion, (you can even add mushrooms ... yum) then after a minute add chopped tomatoes.
2. Whisk 1 egg and add into the pan.
3. When the egg is set at the bottom and just a little runny at the top sprinkle on spinach and a few leaves of basil.
4. Fold the egg and continue frying until cooked as you would make an everyday omlette.
5. Serve and sprinkle with parmesan.
