Throughout the 2017 season we are going to bring you a number of recipes from Sydney Swans chef Courtney Roulston. 

We will bring you a different recipe each week from Courtney involving a lot of what the players eat on a weekly basis.

Indonesian Fried Rice (Nasi Goreng) 

SERVES 4
PREP: 10 MINS
COOK: 10 MINS

Ingredients

3 tablespoons sunflower oil

200g chicken breast, halved horizontally to make 2 thin steaks

1 small brown onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, crushed  

1 long red chilli, sliced

1 carrot, shredded

3 cups cooked long grain rice

2 cups cabbage, shredded  

80g bean sprouts

2 tablespoons kecap manis (sweet thick soy available at supermarkets)

2 teaspoons sesame oil

2 green shallots, sliced

To garnish:

4 eggs

1 tablespoon Asian fried shallots

200g Perino cherry tomatoes, sliced

1 Lebanese cucumber, sliced

 

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over a medium heat in a large frying pan or wok. Cook the chicken steaks for 2 minutes each side, or until cooked through. Once cool, dice the chicken into 1cm pieces and set aside.

Meanwhile heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the same pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the onion, garlic and chili for 2 minutes before adding in the carrot and rice. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to heat the rice through. Add in the cabbage, bean sprouts, kecap manis, sesame oil, green shallots and reserved chicken. Toss through for 2 minutes to coat everything in the sauce.

In a separate fry pan, fry the eggs in the remaining oil for 3 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.

To serve divide the rice amongst serving bowls and garnish each with a fried egg, and fried shallots. Arrange the tomato and cucumber on the side. Serve with extra sliced red chili on the side. Enjoy!
