100g cooked and shredded chicken
4 eggs, lightly beaten
Handful chopped coriander
50g beansprouts
Hoisin sauce to serve

Method

In a heavy based frying pan heat the sesame oil over a medium heat. Add the spring onions, green pepper, red pepper, blanched peas and ginger to the pan and cook for 2 mins. Add the chicken to the pan and cook for a further minute until heated. Pour over the eggs, throw in the chopped coriander and stir once until evenly distributed.

Cooking Tips

The less water you use when cooking peas, the less vitamin C lost. Steaming helps to conserve this vitamin.

When boiling frozen peas, add enough water to cover, bring to the boil and then cover and simmer for 3 minutes. To microwave 227 grams (8oz) of frozen peas add 15ml (1 tablespoon) of water, place in a non metallic container and cover. Cook on full power for 4 minutes (750W) or 4 1/2 minutes (650W).

Peas, the all year round convenience food! What more could you ask for?
