You can add pretty much anything to this recipe.

It's delicious with tofu. Simply fry off some hard tofu prior to frying off the eggs, then add it with the eggs to the stir fry during step 4.

Other vegetables that can be added include:
cauliflower,
beans,
grated beetroot,
mushrooms,
celery,
Chinese cabbage,
spring onions,
coriander,
zucchini,
Asian greens such as bok choy, or choy sum,
or any other seasonal vegetable available, or that's lying around in your fridge.



Ingredients
3 eggs
1 large onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, finely diced
1 tsp ginger, grated on micro-plain
1 tsp peanut oil
1 1/2 tsp sesame seed oil
1 carrot, peeled, cut length-ways, and Bias sliced (sliced diagonally)
1 capsicum, diced
1/2 cup of sliced broccoli trees
1/2 cup frozen peas
1-2 cups of cooked rice
soy sauce to taste


Method
1) Beat eggs. Heat half of the peanut oil, with a dash of sesame seed oil, in a wok to a medium-high temperature.  Fry egg to make omelette.
2) Remove from wok, and cut into slices.
3) Fry onion, garlic and ginger in remaining peanut oil and sesame seed oil. Add carrots, capsicum, broccoli and peas. Fry until carrots have slightly softened but still have some crunch.
4) Add omelette pieces, rice and dash of soy sauce, and stir fry until combined.
