Golden rule for stir fry rice dishes is to precook the rice as I have done here, placing it in the fridge will also help dry the rice out.
I usually make this when I have various bits of vegetables that need using up. The secret to this dish is to blanch the vegetables first and have everything ready before starting the stir fry.
If you want to make this vegan, simply leave out the eggs.
200 g jasmine rice
200 g Mixed vegetables (I used broccoli, asparagus and cabbage)
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbsp sambal paste
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp kecap manis (or an additional tbsp soy sauce with 1 tsp sugar)
4 spring onions, sliced
1 red chilli, finely sliced
drizzle sesame oil to finish
Cook rice to pack instructions. Spread out on a baking tray to cool quickly and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Blanch vegetables for 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Add vegetable oil to a wok over a high heat. Once smoking hot, add garlic cook for a minute stirring to ensure the garlic doesn’t burn. Pour in the eggs, allow to cook for a minute then break up with a fork. Add sambal paste.
Using your hand, break up any lumps in the rice and add to the wok along with the cooked vegetables. Stir in soy sauce and kecap manis, stir to ensure everything is heated through. Serve sprinkled with chilli, spring onions and a drizzle of sesame oil.
