Finely chop the spring onions with some of their green stem.
Rinse the mint and pluck the leaves off.

Cut half a lemon into thin slices, and then dice.
Make sure the skin has been thoroughly washed before hand!
Toss all the ingredients into a wok with the olive oil, and
Cook until golden.
Sprinkle with a teaspoon of sugar.
