Method

Cook the rice in boiling water according to the packet instructions. Add the peas 4 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Drain well.
Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the onion and fry for 3 minutes. Add the pepper and garlic and fry for 5 minutes until soft. Add the chicken and fry until just cooked. Add the rice, peas and sweetcorn. Mix all of the sauce ingredients together. Pour over the rice and fry for one minute.
Season the eggs with a little salt. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Make a thin omelette by pouring into the pan and then swirl abound the base and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until just set. Turn out onto a board, cut into thin strips.
Add the strips of egg to the rice and serve.
