Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Brown rice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 seeded and finely chopped Red chili
- 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
- 1 medium, diced Carrot
- 1 small, diced Red bell pepper
- 100 grams Frozen peas
- 2 whisked Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 juiced Lime
- 2 sliced Spring onions
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro
- 150 grams, shredded (optional) Cooked chicken breast
Instructions
Cook the brown rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, spread it out on a tray to cool. This helps to make it less sticky for the stir-frying step.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, red chili, and ginger. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Add the diced carrot and red bell pepper to the pan. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and pour the whisked eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs gently until they are fully cooked, then mix them into the vegetables.
Stir in the frozen peas and allow them to heat through for about 2 minutes.
Add the cooled brown rice and shredded chicken breast (if using) to the pan. Stir everything together to combine.
Pour the low-sodium soy sauce and lime juice over the rice mixture. Stir well to ensure the rice is evenly coated with the seasonings.
Continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, ensuring everything is well heated and combined.
Garnish with sliced spring onions and chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat Nasi Goreng!
