I feel like everyone needs a perfect Tuesday fried rice recipe up their sleeve. Perhaps y’all can learn from my life mistakes, I’m happy with that arrangement. Why on earth it took me so long to find mine is beyond me, but just like Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl.. here I am. Learn from my life mistakes: always pack an umbrella, make enough for tomorrows left overs, three nights in Bali is never enough & channeling the inner Malaysian in you is always a good idea when the outcome is this!

nasi goreng

Serves 4

Ingredients

2 cups of rice
3tbs sriracha chili sauce
3tbs kecap manis – sweet soy
3tbs soy sauce
1tbs sesame oil
3 shallots, diced
4 cloves of garlic, diced
1-2 red bullet chillies, diced
2 chicken breasts, sliced
Handful of green beans, sliced
Handful of savoy cabbage, sliced
Handful of sliced spring onion
Handful of chopped coriander
Handful of beansprouts
2 eggs

Method

Start by putting your rice on. Once its cooked, leave aside – uncovered, to cool.

While thats cooking, combine the sriracha, kecap manis, soy and sesame oil in a cup then leave aside.

Make sure all your chicken, veg and herbs are chopped and ready to go then heat a little oil in a wok and over a super high heat, fry off the onion, garlic and chilli. After 2 minutes, add the chicken and cook through. Stir through the beans, cabbage, spring onion, coriander and sprouts, then the cooked rice.

Push the rice to one side then crack the eggs in the wok. Mix the yolks through and using your utensil, work the eggs until they scramble. Pour the sauce mixture over the rice then fully combine with the egg. Et Voila!
