Boil a full kettle

Rinse your brown rice, add it to a pot with plenty of cold water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20-25 min or until it's tender with a slight bite

Once cooked, drain, return it to the pot and keep covered until serving

Add your egg[s] to a pot of boiled water and bring to the boil over a high heat

Once boiling, cook for exactly 8 min for perfect, mid-boiled eggs, then fill a bowl of very cold water and transfer the cooked egg[s] to the bowl

Reserve the pot for later

Once the eggs are cooked, Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add your bacon lardons and cook for 5-6 min or until golden and crispy

Peel and finely slice your brown onion[s]

Cook for 5-8 min or until the veg is tender

Peel the cooled egg[s] and cut them into quarters

Combine your tomato ketchup and sriracha (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) in small bowl – this is your spicy ketchup

Once the veg is tender, add your tomato paste, ground smoked paprika, curry powder, garam masala and a knob of butter and cook for 3 min or until fragrant

Once fragrant, add the cooked rice, blanched peas and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to the pan and give everything a good mix up
