Method: 1. In a bowl, mix together the pork mince, chilli and half of the spring onions. Season well and form into 12 meatballs. (Remember to wash your hands after handling raw meat.)

2. Cook the rice according to the pack instructions.

3. Meanwhile, brown the meatballs in a frying pan with 1 tablespoon of oil for 5-10 minutes.

4. Drain the rice well and add to a wok with the remaining oil. Stir, then move the rice to one side, add the egg to the wok, allow to cook a little, before stirring into the rice with the remaining spring onions. Make sure the egg is properly cooked.

5. Add the stir-fry pack to the meatballs and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the meatballs are no longer pink. Add the Peking lemon sauce and heat through. Serve immediately with the egg-fried rice.

Veggie option: Try swapping the pork mince for a 300g pack frozen Quorn Chicken-style pieces.
