Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

2 eggs , lightly beaten

1 tbsp red curry paste

pinch caster sugar

800g cooked basmati rice (about 250g-300g uncooked)

small bunch spring onions , sliced

140g frozen peas

2 tbsp soy sauce , plus extra to serve

4 smoked mackerel fillets, flaked

½ cucumber , cut into half moons

Method

Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok. Tip in the eggs and swirl to coat the base of the pan. Cook for 1 min, then flip and cook the other side until set. Remove and roughly chop into ribbons.

Add the curry paste and sugar and fry for 1 min. Tip in the rice and stir to coat in the paste, then add the spring onions and peas. Stir-fry for 2-3 mins until everything is really hot. Add the soy sauce, then gently toss through the omelette ribbons and mackerel.

Divide between 4 bowls and garnish with the cucumber. Serve with extra soy sauce, if you like.
