Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, plus a little to fry the eggs
  • 250g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
  • 75g ginger, finely grated
  • 2 thumb-sized pieces fresh turmeric, peeled and finely grated (or ground turmeric 1 heaped tsp)
  • 2 red chillies, seeded and finely chopped
  • 4 fat cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 4 lime leaves, shredded
  • 8 brussels sprouts, thinly sliced
  • 350g ready-cooked basmati rice, chilled
  • 6 medium eggs
  • 4 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled into ribbons
  • a small bunch coriander, finely chopped
  • sriracha or sweet chilli sauce, to serve

Method

  • STEP 1

    Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok, add the mushrooms and fry for 5 minutes or until all of their moisture has evaporated. Add the ginger, turmeric, chillies, garlic and kaffir lime leaves, followed by the brussels sprouts, and fry for 1 minute.

  • STEP 2

    Add the rice, stir well and add a few tablespoons of water. Cover the pan with a lid for 1 minute, shaking the pan a few times to prevent sticking.

  • STEP 3

    Fry the eggs in a separate frying pan in a little vegetable oil to your liking.

  • STEP 4

    Remove the lid from the rice and stir well before adding the spring onions, carrot ribbons, coriander and a generous amount of seasoning. Give everything one final stir and serve with a fried egg and a drizzle of sriracha or sweet chilli sauce, if you like.
