Ingredients

  • 8 free-range eggs
  • 1 T canola oil
  • chilli oil, for serving
  • For the rice:
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 3 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 1 T fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely grated
  • 1 t fresh turmeric, finely grated
  • 35 g red curry paste
  • 200 g basmati rice
  • 1¼ cups vegetable stock
  • 1 T butter
  • salt, to taste

Cooking Instructions

1. To make the rice, heat the olive oil in a large pan, then add the spring onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, turmeric and curry paste and cook for 5 minutes, then add the rice and stock. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked. Add the butter and season. Cover and leave over a low heat.

2. Beat 2 eggs together – this will be a portion for one person. Heat the canola oil in a medium pan until very hot, then pour in the beaten egg and swirl the egg mixture in the centre of the pan using 2 chopsticks until a tornado pattern forms – it helps to swirl the pan in the opposite direction. Repeat with the remaining eggs.

3. Serve the hot egg on top of the rice, seasoned with chilli oil.
