-
Heat the wok over a high heat, then add the oil. Swirl around the edges and when it starts to smoke, add the shallot, carrot and peppers and stir-fry over a medium-high heat for 3 minutes.
-
Toss in the garlic, chilli and ginger and cook for 1 minute more.
-
Turn the heat down to medium and add the cooked rice, peas, prawns, pork and dark soy sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the prawns are cooked through and the rice and pork is piping hot, adding a splash of water if it starts to catch.
-
Push everything to one side and add the eggs to the pan. Leave for 10 seconds, then stir-fry until set. Combine the scrambled eggs with the rest of the rice and remove from the heat. Season to taste and stir through the sesame oil.
-
Divide between bowls and top with a scattering of peanuts.
