• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Add basmati rice and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 10 minutes. • Drain and set aside.
• While the rice is cooking, finely chop carrot and garlic. Remove centre veins from makrut lime leaves, then very finely chop. Drain sweetcorn (see ingredients). • Roughly chop herbs. Thinly slice spring onion. Cut lime into wedges.
TIP: The makrut lime leaves are fibrous so you want to cut them finely.
• Heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Stir-fry carrot and sweetcorn until tender, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic, ginger & lemongrass paste and makrut lime leaves and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add mild Thai red curry paste, the brown sugar and vegetable stock powder and cook, stirring, until excess moisture has evaporated, 2-3 minutes. • Add rice, stirring, until combined and heated through, 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat, then stir through spring onion, salad leaves, 1/2 the herbs, a generous squeeze of lime juice and the salt.
• In a second large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, crack the eggs into the pan. Cook until egg whites are firm and yolks are cooked to liking, 2-3 minutes. • Sprinkle chilli flakes (if using) on top.
TIP: This will give a soft yolk, fry for 6-7 minutes to get a hard yolk.
• Divide Thai-style fried rice between bowls and top each with a chilli fried egg. • Garnish with crispy shallots, roasted peanuts and remaining herbs. • Serve with remaining lime wedges. Enjoy!
