Using a spatula, pull egg inwards from edge of pan towards centre to create folds, letting raw egg mixture fill any gaps. Cook for 3 minutes or until set. Roll up omelette in pan, sliding carefully onto a board. Cut into 1cm-thick slices.

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in same wok over high heat. Stir-fry shallots for 3 minutes or until softened. Add curry paste and garlic, stir-frying for 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add prawns, mushrooms and capsicum. Stir-fry for 4 minutes or until prawns are cooked through.

Step 5

Add rice and egg. Stir-fry for 1 minute or until heated through. Stir through sauces, lime juice and Thai basil leaves.
