Ingredients
- 2 tsp rice vinegar
- pinch of caster sugar
- ¼ cucumber, very thinly sliced
- 2 spring onions, thickly sliced on the diagonal
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 x 200g pack baby corn and mangetout, halved
- 1 tbsp red curry paste
- 1 x 250g microwave wholegrain basmati rice
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 smoked mackerel fillets, skin removed and flaked
Step by step
- Combine the rice vinegar, caster sugar and a large pinch of salt in a small bowl. Add the cucumber and spring onions, toss to coat and set aside.
- Heat a wok until very hot, add 1 teaspoon of oil, swirling the pan to coat the base, then add the egg and leave to sit for 10 seconds until it’s just starting to set but is still a bit runny, before removing from the heat and quickly scrambling for a few seconds. Transfer to a bowl.
- Wipe the pan clean, return to the heat and add the remaining oil. Stir-fry the vegetables for 1 minute before adding the red curry paste and cooking for another minute. Add the rice and cook to pack instructions, then stir in the soy sauce. Toss in the scrambled egg and flaked mackerel.
- Divide between bowls and serve with the cucumber and spring onion pickle on the side.
