Ingredients

8 lamb cutlets, trimmed

1/2 cup char siu chinese barbecue sauce

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 eggs, lightly beaten

100 gram ham, finely chopped

1 clove garlic, crushed

2 1/2 cup cooked jasmine rice

310 gram can corn kernels, drained

1/2 cup frozen peas

2 tablespoon soy sauce

4 green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal

Method

1.Combine lamb and char siu sauce in a large, shallow dish. Turn to coat. Set aside.

2.Heat oil in a medium non-stick frying pan on high. Add the eggs, swirling to form an omelette. Remove omelette from wok, roll up, slice and return to wok.

3.Add ham and garlic to same wok. Stir-fry, 3-4 minutes, until browned. Add rice, corn, peas and soy sauce. Stir-fry, 1-2 minutes, until heated through.

4.Meanwhile, preheat a large frying pan or char-grill on high. Cook lamb in batches, 2-3 minutes each side, or until cooked to taste. Serve cutlets on fried rice, sprinkled with green onions.

This is a great way to use up leftover rice. If you need to cook rice, bring equal amounts of rice and water to boil in saucepan, stir once to loosen grains from bottom, cover and set aside, 15-20 minutes, until water is absorbed. Make sure to cool down rice before using in fried rice.
