When frying rice you want to stir the rice less so it has a chance to get a slight crust on it.


Ingredients

Nasi Goreng

  • ¾ cup jasmine rice
  • 1¼ cups water
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ red onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ½ bag baby spinach
  • 40g veggie nasi goreng paste with cashews
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Sesame Egg

  • 15g sesame seeds
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp sesame oil

Salsa

  • ½-1 chilli (optional)
  • 50-100g mung bean sprouts
  • 3 Tbsp picked coriander leaves
  • 3 Tbsp picked mint leaves
  • ½ tsp soy sauce
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 20g chopped, roasted peanuts

To Serve

  • 80g veggie Asian ketchup
  • 15g crispy shallots

Steps

  1. Combine rice, water and 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 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, still covered, for a further 5 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. When rice is cooked remove from pot and spread out onto a tray to cool down for 3-4 minutes. While rice cooks, finely dice onion and mince garlic. Thinly slice spinach and chilli.
  3. Heat a large, dry fry-pan on medium heat. Add sesame seeds and cook, stirring often, for 1-2 minutes, until golden. Transfer to a medium bowl (reserving pan), add remaining sesame egg ingredients and mix to combine.
  4. Return pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add a ¼ cup of egg mixture to pan. Cook egg for 2-3 minutes, until egg is set and cooked through. Transfer to a chopping board and repeat with remaining mix. Slice egg into 0.5cm thick ribbons and set aside. Return pan to medium heat with a little more oil.
  5. Cook onion, garlic and nasi goreng paste for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Add cooked rice and soy sauce and cook for 3-4 minutes, until hot. Add peas and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove rice from heat, stir through spinach and season. Toss all salsa ingredients together in a small bowl. Season and set aside.
  6. To serve, divide nasi goreng between plates. Drizzle over Asian ketchup and top with a pile of sesame egg ribbons, salsa and sprinkle over crispy shallots.
