Tips and Serving Suggestions
If preferred, omit the eggs and mix and match vegetables of your choice, or use your family favourites. For extra value, use conventional rice and cook according to the packet instructions. If ginger and garlic paste not available, opt for freshly chopped garlic and ginger.
You could also swap the soy sauce in the dressing for sweet chilli sauce.
