Method
step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick pan or wok. Pour in ½ the beaten egg to make a really thin omelette, then slide out. Repeat, then roll both omelettes up together and slice into ribbons.
step 2
Heat another tbsp oil and cook half the chilli, the shallots, garlic, carrot and mushrooms for 4 minutes. Add the rice and cook for another 2 minutes. Mix the brown sugar with the soy and the chilli sauce until dissolved, then stir through the rice.
step 3
Pile onto a serving dish and top with the omelette ribbons, cucumber and rest of the chilli. Drizzle with sesame oil to finish.
