Indonesian Stir Fry

Any combination of vegetables that will stir fry (hold flavor and texture) will work in this recipe. Shrimp or tofu is an easy substitute for the protein - if you use beef or pork, you might want to thin-slice before cooking.

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil canola or safflower works best
  • 4 Large eggs beaten
  • 1 to 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken We like using thighs, which give a meatier flavor and holds up better to the sauce
  • 1 cup Long grain white rice Cooked, according to directions
  • 1/2 pound Asparagus Brussel sprouts, broccolini, or any other cruciferious vegetable will work
  • 1/2 pound baby carrots cut in half
  • 1 Large shallot thinnly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup Chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon Mirin Use kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce) if you can find it
  • 1 bottle Serious Foodie Indonesian Sambal Optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2-3 green scallions, sliced on the bias save about 1/4 of the greens to garnish

Instructions
 

  • 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.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a wok or large, deep frying pan until almost smoking. Add the chicken, and stir-fry for 1 min. Tip in the shallots, asparagus, and carrots, and stir-fry for a further 2 mins until the carrot is just tender. Add the cooked rice, and stir fry for 1-2 minutes.
  • Mix together the soy sauce, chicken stock, mirin, and 1 tablespoon of Serious Foodie Sambal. Add this mix to the pan and put the heat to simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place in a bowl, then add the stir fry. Garnish with scallion greens and cooked eggs. Provide a bowl of the Serious Foodie Indonesian Sambal to pump up the spice of this dish.
