Ingredients

BROWN RICE

  • 1 cup Japanese brown rice
  • 1¼ cups water

NASI GORENG

  • ½ red onion
  • 1 carrot
  • ½ bunch broccolini
  • ½ punnet cherry tomatoes
  • 80-100g veggie nasi goreng paste
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 teaspoons veggie kecap manis
  • Juice of ½ lemon

FRIED EGGS

  • 2-3 eggs

TO SERVE

  • 100g mung bean sprouts
  • 40g chopped, roasted peanuts
  • 20g crispy onions
  • 2-3 tablespoons picked Thai basil leaves
  • 2-3 teaspoons veggie kecap manis
  • ½ lemon, cut into wedges

Steps

  1. Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a small pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a tight fitting lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 15 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. While rice is cooking, prepare the rest of the meal. Thinly slice onion; peel carrot, cut in half lengthways and thinly slice; cut broccolini into 3cm lengths; cut cherry tomatoes in half. When rice is steaming, start cooking veggies.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on high heat. Stir-fry onion for 2 minutes. Add broccolini and carrot and cook for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high, add nasi goreng paste and cook for 30 seconds. Add water for a further 30 seconds, rubbing base of pan to release any pan brownings. Remove from heat.
  4. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium, non-stick fry-pan on medium heat. Crack eggs in, one by one, to cook for 4-5 minutes, until whites are set, yolk is runny and edges are becoming crispy. Cover pan with a lid to help eggs cook, if desired. Remove eggs from pan and set aside.
  5. Fluff up cooked rice and toss in pan with nasi goreng veggies. Return to a medium heat to warm through. Stir through cherry tomatoes, first measure of kecap manis and lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  6. spoon nasi goreng with brown rice onto plates. Top with a handful of mung bean sprouts and a fried egg. Garnish with peanuts, crispy onions and Thai basil. Drizzle over remaining kecap manis and squeeze over lemon juice just before eating.
