Just wanted to say thank you for this recipe (and the whole thread, there are so many recipes I can't wait to try!). I made it on wed evening and it was SO nice! Compared to having a measly 1/2 sachet of blue dragon stir fry sauce packet, this was fab :)

Looking forward to experimenting with other meats, and also trying some of your other recipes.
 
You are very welcome - glad you liked it!

Spray more frylight to the pan and add the prepared veg & garlic. Fry until lightly brown. Add the rice, stock, soy sauce & tomato puree. Stir until combined. Add black pepper.
