Cookbook:Pattaya Fried Rice

| Cuisine of Malaysia

Pattaya fried rice (Malay: nasi goreng pattaya), is a Malaysian dish made by wrapping chicken fried rice in an omelette pouch. It is similar to the Japanese omurice.

Ingredients

 * 3 tbsp olive oil (2 tbsp for frying and 1 tbsp for making an omelette)
 * 2 cloves garlic, minced
 * 2 red chillies, cut in 1 cm dice
 * 2 shallots, sliced finely
 * 2 chicken fillets, cut in 1.5 cm pieces
 * 1 cup (250 g / 8.8 oz) green peas
 * 1 carrot, diced
 * 1 scallion, cut in 1 cm dice
 * 2 cups (300 g / 11 oz) cooked rice
 * 2 tbsp tomato sauce
 * 2 tbsp nam pla (fish sauce)
 * 1 tbsp salt
 * 1½ tbsp pepper
 * 1 small jalapeno, minced
 * 2 eggs for making omelette

Procedure

 * 1) Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. When the oil is hot, fry the garlic and shallots, stirring until brown and fragrant.
 * 2) Add the chicken pieces, carrot, green peas, and red chilli. Stir for 2 minutes.
 * 3) Add the rice, nam pla, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir until all mixed.
 * 4) To make the omelette, heat the oil in a separate pan. Beat the eggs, and pour into the pan. Cook until the egg is browned on the bottom.
 * 5) Flip the egg over to cook on the other side.
 * 6) Place a ball of the fried rice mixture in the center of the omelette. Fold up the 4 edges of the omelette to enclose the rice. Flip it onto a serving plate.
