Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 20

300g long-grain rice
3 tbsp vegetable oil
4 large eggs, beaten
100g fine green beans, cut in half
2 chicken breasts, cut into small even chunks
180g pack large raw peeled prawns, cut in half
200g shallots, thinly sliced
20g garlic, finely chopped
2 medium-hot red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
1 red bird's-eye chilli, sliced
1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
1 quantity Balinese spice paste (see recipe in 'goes well with'
1 tbsp tomato purée
1 tbsp kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce)
1 tbsp light soy sauce
8 spring onions, thinly sliced
½ cucumber , sliced
2 medium tomatoes , sliced
4 tbsp crispy fried onions
prawn cracker

Steps:

  • Put the rice in a medium heavy-based saucepan and add 520ml water. Quickly bring to the boil, stir once and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 mins. Uncover, fluff up with a fork and spread over a tray. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Pour in the beaten egg and, as it begins to cook, use a spatula to bring large flakes of cooked egg into the middle of the omelette. Continue to cook like this for a couple of mins, then leave the rest of the egg to set completely. Flip the omelette over and transfer to a plate to cool before cutting it into long, thin shreds.
  • Drop the beans into a pan of boiling salted water and cook for 3 mins. Drain, refresh under cold water and set aside.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a wok or large, deep frying pan until almost smoking. Add the chicken and prawns, and stir-fry for 1 min. Tip in the shallots, garlic, chillies and carrots, and stir-fry for a further 2 mins until the carrot is just tender. Add the spice paste and stir-fry for 1 min more. Add the tomato purée, kecap manis, cooked rice and green beans, and stir-fry over a high heat for 2 mins. Add the soy sauce, spring onions and shredded omelette, and toss together.
  • Spoon the nasi goreng onto warmed plates. Overlap the cucumber and tomato on the side of each plate, sprinkle over the crispy fried onions and serve with prawn crackers.

Time 20m

Yield Serves 3 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive or peanut oil
1/2 teaspoon urad dal
1/2 teaspoon brown mustard seeds
2 dried hot red chiles, broken in half
5 medium carrots (about 12 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/3-inch rounds (rounds halved, if large)
1 teaspoon peeled and finely grated fresh ginger (from a 1/2-inch piece)
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons finely grated fresh or thawed frozen coconut
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Place oil in a large frying pan, wok, or karhai over medium heat. When hot, add urad dal. As soon as it begins to change color, add mustard seeds and red chiles. When the mustard seeds pop and the chiles darken -- a matter of seconds -- add carrots, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well, then add 4 tablespoons water. Cover and cook over low heat until carrots are tender, 3 to 6 minutes. Add coconut and cilantro; mix well. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: Look for firm, brightly colored carrots with smooth skin and no blemishes.
  • Cut the carrots evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Cut them into thin strips or slices for a quick stir-fry, or cut them into larger chunks for a longer braise.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet: This will help the carrots caramelize and develop flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too many carrots to the pan, they will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Stir-fry the carrots until they are tender-crisp: You don't want them to be too soft or mushy.
  • Season the carrots to taste: Add salt, pepper, garlic, ginger, or other spices to taste.
  • Serve the carrots immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried carrots are a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or as a main course. They are a good source of vitamins A and C, and they are also low in calories and fat. By following these tips, you can make the perfect stir-fried carrots every time.
