1 carrot, finely diced
½ red pepper, deseeded and finely diced
1 garlic clove, crushed
250g/9oz cooked long grain rice

Add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds, then add the rice, peas and sweetcorn and fry for 2 minutes until the rice is hot. Add the soy sauce and sweet chilli sauce and season with a little salt and pepper.
