Prawn Nasi Goreng (with a twist!)
This recipe with a twist plays on Sri Lankan style Nasi Goreng by adding dried salted prawns, a whole lot of different veggies, and a simple omelette to top it off.
For this recipe, I use one packet of Knorr Nasi Goreng Mix for 1.5 cups of uncooked basmathi rice.
To begin, cook the rice with a generous piece of pandan leaf and 1 teaspoon of coconut milk powder stirred into the cooking water. Leave aside to cool.
Heat a tablespoon of butter with a teaspoon of coconut oil in a big wok.
Add:
1 big onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/2 inch piece of ginger root, chopped
Curry leaves, chopped finely
3 fresh red chillies, chopped
1 cup dry salted prawns, soaked in warm water with the heads removed
1/4 cup koonisso aka dry shrimp
Stir fry these ingredients well until the onions are translucent.
Then add:
1 cup carrots, chopped into sticks
1/2 cup cabbage, finely chopped
1/2 cup green peas
Fry everything for 2 minutes.
Add one cup of thin coconut milk and the Knorr Nasi Goreng mix packet.
Stir and let it reduce until there is very little moisture left (maximum half a cup of liquid at the bottom of the wok.)
Then stir in the cooked rice and mix well.
Meanwhile, beat two eggs with salt and pepper and make a very thin omelette.
Serve the rice topped with slices of omelette and chopped spring onions.
