Method
Heat 2 tsp of the oil in a large wok or non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Tip in the egg and cook for 2-3 mins until the egg is set. Tip the omelette onto a board, cut into 1cm strips and set aside.
Add the remaining oil to the pan and tip in the onion. Sizzle for 5 mins, then add the garlic paste, ginger paste and prawns. Stir-fry for 2-3 mins until the prawns defrost and turn pink. Add the peas, five-spice powder, rice, pineapple, soy and cashew nuts, and stir-fry for another 3 mins until piping hot.
Stir the omelette strips into the rice and heat for 1 min. Finally, stir through the lime zest and juice. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
