The most important thing to do when stir-frying is to have everything ready and prepared.

Step 2

Heat a large frying pan or wok on medium heat and fry off the garlic and ginger in a little oil (1tsp) for 30secs.

Add beansprouts and stir-fry for 30 secs.  

 

Step 3

Season the egg with 1/2tsp soy, stir through and add this to the wok along with the bean sprouts. 

Using a wooden spoon or chopsticks, move the egg to all areas of the pan, fold over a little and gently cook for up to a minute. Remove from the pan or wok onto a plate for later.

Step 4

Wipe out the frying pan or wok if required and heat the pan on high heat for 1min. Add half the rest of the oil.

Add carrots and onions to the pan and cook for 1min.

Add the rest of the vegetables and chilli, season with salt and fry for 1min on medium heat.

Add a lid or cover with tin foil and steam the vegetables for 1min.

Add curry powder to the vegetables and stir through.
