Nonya Fried Rice

(22) Main | Malaysian

Method
1. Pound the chilli, garlic and shallots to a paste in a mortar and pestle. If you dont have a mortar and pestle, chopping finely will be completely appropriate. 1. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok till hot and add the paste and saut till it is rich and aromatic. (If finely chopping the aromatics, add the garlic first to the wok, and cook briefly, then the shallots and chilli and stir fry till aromatic.) 1. Pound drained dried shrimp in mortar and pestle till shredded, or blitz in a food processor to a crumbly consistency. Add to the wok and stir fry till fragrant. Add prawns and stir fry till just cooked. Immediately add rice, soy, salt, sugar and white pepper. 2. Cook till rice has separated, and tender. 3. Make a well in the middle of the wok pushing rice to the sides. Tip in the egg and let it sit for a while so the bottom has a while to caramelise. With an eggflip turn it over on the other side till that is also nice and brown, then chop it with the eggflip so little pieces of it cook all the way through. Add the cucumber and give it all a final toss so everything is incorporated, checking for seasoning. Serve hot or at room temperature. 1. Pohs tip 2. The trick to cooking great fried rice is pre cook and put in the freezer and defreeze when you want to use it. It makes the grains keep separate and the dish from getting stodgy.
