Recipe video above. This is the fried rice version of traditional Vietnamese red rice (plain tomato rice steamed in a pot). I added ham, peas and egg to turn it into a quick and easy meal. Frying up the tomato rice with garlic adds extra flavour which is on point!Serves 2 as a meal, or 4 to 5 as a side.

Rice and tomato paste - Add rice and tomato paste, cook for 2 minutes.
Sauces - Add fish sauce, soy and sugar, cook 1 minute to get a bit of nice caramelisation on the tomatoey rice.
Scramble eggs - Push rice to one side of the pan. In the cleared space, melt reserved butter then pour in the egg and scramble until just set.
Serve - Toss cooked egg through the rice. Serve!
