Ingredients :

2 eggs

salt and pepper

3 tbsp vegetable oil

4 shallots or 1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 tsp finely chopped fresh ginger

1 clove garlic, crushed

225g prawn (shrimp) tails, fresh or cooked

In a bowl, beat the eggs well, and season. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, pour in the eggs and allow to set without stirring for less than a minute. Roll up the pancake, cut into thin strips and set aside. Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a large wok, add the shallots, ginger, garlic and prawn (shrimp) tails and cook for 1-2 minutes, ensuring that the garlic doesn't burn. Add the chili sauce, spring onions (scallions), peas, pork and soy sauce. Stir to heat through, then add the rice. Fry the rice over a moderate heat for 6-8 minutes. Turn into a dish and decorate with the pancake.
