I don't toss out left over food, I re-cook it to make lunch or dinner. I got a little bit left over grilled beef from the other day and I'm making Indonesian fried rice with it.
I add some fresh turmeric and chopped ginger, besides, those are good resources of herbs with tons of benefits for our body. It also brings out the herby flavors.
My own original recipe.
Prep Time: 15 minutes / Cook Time 15 minutes
Ingredients:
1 plate of cooked rice
1 egg
1 cup of sliced cooked beef or chicken
3 to 4 layers of lettuce. Roughly chop
1/2 cup of roughly chopped crimini mushroom
1/2 teaspoon of chopped fresh ginger
1 teaspoon of thinly sliced fresh turmeric (optional)
3 tbsp olive oil or any oil
Salt
Seasoning:
6 raw cashew nuts (I use candlenut)
1 big cloves of garlic
2 shallots or 5 heads of spring onion (bottom part)
2 tbsp of chicken stock
Pinch of salt
Method:
Using a food processor, grind the seasoning until it's smooth. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil over low heat and saute the seasoning until fragrant. Set aside.
Heat 1/2 tbsp of olive oil and saute the chopped mushroom, add pinch of salt and set aside. Use a little bit oil, cook the egg also and set aside.
Using a non stick frying pan, heat the remaining olive oil and add some salt and sliced turmeric to the hot oil (that way you will bring so much flavor to the fried rice). Add the rice and stir it until all the salt mixed well with the rice. Then, add the seasoning, chopped ginger and beef.
At the end, add the cooked mushroom and cooked egg and mix it well. Serve.
Candlenuts.
In South Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia or Singapore, most of them using CANDLENUT (similar to Macadamia nut) as a thickening agent to the food such as curry, braised vegetable or meat. But here, I used cashew nut (you can also use raw almond) as substitute, since it's easy to get and folks here are used to eat them.
Taste is good for candlenut and it's creamy also.
Note:
For good results of the fried rice, refrigerate the cooked rice overnight before starting. You can add some soy sauce also to enhance the taste.
