Nasi Goreng

We use cooked rice for this - either cooked ourselves and then cooled or one of those microwave pouches of cooked rice. You could use whatever veg takes your fancy in this. We tend to use either strips of lean pork or chicken and prawns in ours.

Ingredients (serves 2):

cooked rice

2-3 chicken thighs, diced

handful of prawns

1 onion, chopped

1 large clove of garlic, chopped

4 spring onions, chopped

1 chilli, chopped

1cm piece ginger, minced

1 green pepper, chopped (optional)

1 courgette, chopped (optional)

6 mushrooms, sliced (optional)

1/2 cup frozen peas

1/2 tea sp curry powder

1/4 tea sp ground coriander

1/4 tea sp ground cumin

sesame oil

soy sauce

1 egg

• In a little sesame oil fry the onion, garlic, mushrooms and peppers for a couple of minutes, then add the chilli, ginger and spring onions.
• Brown the chicken pieces in a separate pan and then add them to the veg. At this stage you can also add the curry powder, coriander and cumin.
• Continue to fry the chicken and vegetables for another couple of minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
• At this stage add the prawns, peas and a splash of soy sauce.
• Beat the egg and make a plain omellette. Cut it into strips and set it aside.
