Thai Fried Rice



This meal is now a regular part of our new meat-free Monday regime. It's a weight watchers recipe (7 pp for weight watchers peeps out there) so it's very low calorie but what I love about it is you still get a huge serving!

Time taken: about 30 mins including chopping (only 5 after the chopping is done and rice is cooked)

Ingredients

1 tbs peanut oil
4 shallots- sliced 
2 cloves garlic- crushed
3 cups brown rice (pre cooked)
1 1/2 tbs soy sauce
1 tbs fish sauce
1 tbs lime juice (you can use lemon juice)
1 medium fresh tomato- diced
500g fresh pinapple- cored and cut into small pieces
1 red capsicum- sliced
100g snow peas
3/4 cup fresh coriander (I leave this out as I don't really like it)

Method

1. Heat oil in a wok or large fry fan over high heat. Stir fry the shallot and garlic for 1 minute. Add the rice, soy sauce, fish sauce and lime juice, and stir fry until heated through. Add the tomato, pineapple, capsicum, snowpeas and half the coriander (if using) and stir until vegetables are just cooked.

2. Serve sprinkled with remaining coriander (if using) and a wedge of lime.
