Day 2: Nasi Goreng

Or at least my half take on it. Indonesian fried rice basically, and delicious at that. Diction gets excited when she finds out it is nasi goreng for dinner. I really enjoy it too, and we have it maybe once every two or three weeks.

I don't really measure things for this, so what I have written down is an estimate really, give or take as you like.

For two people, multiply as needed.

One cup of uncooked rice (this was way too much for me and D, but I had some left over rice for the dog).
One cooked large free range chicken breast (two would be good too, but meat is expensive and I eat little).
Three medium free range eggs.
Half a green pepper (bell).
Two cloves of garlic.
One large onion - any colour, or spring/green onions.
One medium carrot.
Half cup sweetcorn.
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground paprika
3-5 tbsp hot curry powder (could use mild or medium. Normal, garam masala or madras powders are all good).
1 tsp sesame oil
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons light soy sauce.

- Cook your rice earlier in the day, or even better leftovers from the night before. Make sure your rice has cooled completely.

- Shred chicken - I used a breast removed from a whole bird after roasting. Julienne carrot, chop onions, slice pepper, crush or chop garlic finely.
- Using oil or frylight saute onions and garlic, adding remaining vegetables apart from sweetcorn after a few minutes.
- Once onion has browned add chicken, and soy sauce, and allow to cook for several minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add all spices apart from curry powder, add sweetcorn.
- Once thoroughly coated in spices add rice, keep heat relatively high and stir quickly, making sure the rice cooks through, as hot as possible.
- In a bowl, crack three eggs and mix, add sesame oil and salt and pepper. 
- Turn down heat a little and scoop everything over to one side, add a couple of sprays of oil and add egg mixture, mix now and then as it cooks through, once white but still quite wet mix through the rice mixture and sitr everything together, turn the heat right up and stir rapidly for two minutes, until egg is properly cooked through.
- Add curry powder and mix through at a medium heat.
- Done!

Once you have made this once you will probably never need to see the recipe again, it is so easy and quick :).
