Nasi goreng with crispy vermicelli eggs
Asian 10 Mins Prep · 15 Mins Cook
- In a food processor, blend the chilli paste, shallots, palm sugar, lemongrass, galangal, tamarind, nutmeg and salt until smooth.
- Finely chop the spring onions. Heat 2 tablespoons of the sunflower oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the spring onions, shrimp paste, garlic paste, then sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add the chilli paste mixture and sauté for 2 minutes, then add the kecap manis, prawns and rice and cook until heated through.
- Meanwhile, make the crispy vermicelli eggs by heating the remaining sunflower oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat. Add the vermicelli noodles and fry for 1-2 minutes until golden and crisp. Make four wells in the pan, crack an egg directly into each well, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges are crispy and the yolk is still runny. Sprinkle with salt and chilli flakes.
- Transfer the fried rice to a serving platter. Top with the crispy vermicelli eggs and scatter over the fresh coriander and more chilli flakes, if desired.
- Serve while hot.
