Veggie rice pot

Boil the kettle.

Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan, then add the peppers and mushrooms. Fry over a high heat for 3 mins or until starting to soften and turn golden. Turn down the heat, then stir in the rice, garlic and five-spice. Sizzle for 2 mins, then splash in the sherry, if using, and top up with 350ml hot water.

Cover the pan and simmer for 15-20 mins until all of the liquid has gone and the rice is tender, stirring now and again.

Add the peas for the final few mins.

Heat another frying pan, add a drop of the sesame oil, then add the eggs. Swirl around the pan to make a thin omelette. Once set, turn out onto a board, roll up and shred thinly. Tip the egg and spring onions onto the rice, fluff up with a fork, season with soy sauce and sesame oil, then serve.
