Method:

1. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook for about 2 minutes until softened.

2. Add the pork to the softened onion and garlic. Stir-fry until the pork changes color and is fully cooked.

3. Tip in the beaten eggs and stir-fry over the heat until scrambled into small lumps.

4. Add the rice and continue to stir and toss, to coat it with the oil and prevent it from sticking.

5. Add the fish sauce, soy sauce and sugar and mix well. Continue to fry until the rice is hot.

6. Spoon into warmed bowls and serve, with sliced spring onions, chilies and lime wedges.

Note: This is great for using up last night's leftover rice, but for safety's sake, it must have been cooled quickly and kept in the refrigerator, then fried until heated all the way through.

Cook's Tips: The rice used in this and similar stir-fries is usually mode the day before and added cold to the dish. If you like, you con drizzle sweet, sour or hot chili dipping sauce over the stir-fries when serving.
