A quick midweek Omega 3 rich family friendly fried rice, based on BBC Good Food's Indonesian Fried Rice with Mackerel.
For a fish dish, this went down really well with the kids.
Serves 4
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tbsp red curry paste
800g cooked basmati rice (about 250g-300g uncooked)
4 fat spring onions, sliced
140g frozen peas, edamame beans, or sliced cabbage
4 smoked mackerel fillets, flaked
4 tbsp kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce), or 2 tbsp soy sauce + 1 tsp sugar
Sriracha Chilli Sauce, to serve
Cook the rice if you don't have any ready cooked, and leave to cool.
Heat the oil in a wok. If using cabbage, stir fry this for a couple of minutes, then add the curry paste and fry breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon.
Pour in the egg and swirl around as if making an omelette, then break up with the wooden spoon and push to one side. Add the mackerel to the side of the wok you've just cleared, then add the spring onion and peas or edamame. Stir and mix well then add the rice and stir everything through well.
Once the rice is well mixed, cover and turn the heat down low for a few minutes to heat the rice through thoroughly.
Serve with a tablespoon of kecap manis per person, and Sriracha chilli sauce to taste.
I would have made this with brown rice had we had some, and possibly would substitute the red curry paste for garlic in ginger as in Nasi Goreng, Indonesian Fried Rice with Chicken & Pork I was taught years ago by someone who lived in Singapore.
