1 tablespoon light soy sauce
2 tablespoons dry sherry

1 egg, beaten

• Put all the ingredients except the egg in a heavy saucepan, and bring to the boil.
• Simmer for 5 minutes until the peas are tender. Remove from the heat, and pour the egg in a thin stream through the prongs of a fork so that it ‘flowers’.
