Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 300 g Raw king prawns peeled
- 200 g Chicken breast cut in to thin strips
- 1 in Large cauliflower cutto small florets
- 2 tsp. sunflower oil
- 1 in Carrot cut in to thin strips
- 200 g baby corn thinly sliced
- 2 Spring Onions thinly sliced plus a little extra to serve
- 100 g Frozen peas
- 1 tbsp. Dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp. Kecap manis see note
- 4 Free range eggs see note
- 1 red chilli thinly sliced to serve
Paste
- 1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 2 red chillies roughly chopped
- 2 cm Fresh ginger roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp. toasted mixed seeds see note
- 1 tsp. Ground turmeric
- 1 tsp. coriander seeds
- 1 Lime zest and juice of
- 1 tbsp. fish sauce
- 1 tbsp. Tomato ketchup
- ½ white onion roughly chopped
Instructions
- Start by making the cauliflower rice by putting the florets in to a food processor and blitzing until it resembles cous cous and place to the side. I had to do this in several batches as I only have a mini food processor.
- For the paste place all of the ingredients in to the food processor and blitz until smooth.
- In a large wok heat the oil over a medium heat and fry the chicken until cooked, remove and place to the side. In the same wok add a touch more oil fry half of the paste until fragrant, about a minute.
- Add the carrot, baby corn, spring onions and stir fry for about 3 minutes. Add the prawns and when they become pink and no longer grey/translucent. Remove from the wok and place to the side.
- In the same pan add a little oil and then fry the remaining paste. Add the cauliflower rice, Soy sauce and Kecap manis and fry until the cauliflower is steaming hot. Add the cooked ingredients and fry further more until heated through which should be a couple of minutes.
- Take off the heat and serve between 4 plates. During this time poach 4 eggs and once cooked place on each of the plates and sprinkle with the sliced spring onion and red chilli.
Notes
Kecap manis – A sweet soy sauce from Indonesia. I found this in the world foods aisle in Tesco.
For the mixed seeds I toasted sesame and pumpkin seeds although you can buy the seeds a pre-packet mix.
Eggs – Traditionally the Nasi Goreng is topped with a chopped omelete. I decided to use a poached egg but you could also use a fried egg. The choice is yours.
