Heres one for you. Go to your local chinese food supply shop - the kind that sells chinese nick nacks, ,unusual foods, bags of unusual stuff. Find some tubs of chinese curry sauce. Its like a paste-in-a-tub.
In the morning before you plan to make this lovely dinner, get some Uncle Bens rice on the go. After 10 minutes, drain and place in a colander, rinse under
cold water, pop in a bowl and bang in it in the fridge till much later....
Take a few breasts of chicken and chop into bite size peices. Place in a bowl and chuck in some ginger, soy sauce, paprika, lemon juice and use your hands to coat the chicken till its all nice and covered. Put aside for laters.
Chop 2 onions, some red and green chillies (one if your not into hot stuff, two or three if your brave) as much garlic finely chopped as you want, a pepper (red or green) a handful of spring onions. You can add mushrooms if you wish to this list.
Take a biggish frying pan. Add oil, salt, pepper, and heat.
Once really hot, add the chillies and garlic, then add the onions. Let them sizzle a while then add the chicken. Add the peppers, spring onions and mushrooms.
Add more salt and pepper, a dusting of hot curry powder, maybe some chilli powder. Toss and stir till everything looks nice
Take your chinese curry sauce tub and scoop out three or four tablespoons of the paste and put into a mixing jug. To this add some water and stir until its like a sauce.
Add this to your still sizzling pan and stir in. Turn down the heat and it will thicken slightly, or add a little more paste. Squeeze in some tomato puree, stir. More seasoning perhaps.
Taste with a teaspoon! Yum
Put your pan of goodies on a small ring on a low heat and allow to simmer till your ready. When you are ready and your rice is cold cold cold, get a wok going on the cooker with a little oil till its almost smoking!
Take some eggs - say 2 per person and crack into a jug. Whisk as you would for scrambled egg but dont add any milk. Maybe a little salt and pepper.
Pour into the wok and scramble the eggs, stirring up to break them up into small peices.
Then throw in the rice. Dont let it stick (if you used Uncle Bens it shouldnt) Stir to mix up with the eggs and add soy sauce. Quickly fry your Egg fried rice (aha!!) till its hot then serve.....
Oh man its wonderful, a hot chinese curry with egg fried rice. You wont go back to the take away for one anytime soon, trust me!
You can add to it whatever you want really, make it hotter or cooler. And water chesnuts, anything!
You can make the curry sauce yourself with some flour and curry powder, mixed with water. But if you do turn down the heat in the pan before adding to your chicken, stir in then turn the heat up....
You can do it with strips of beef also, you can really put anything in it!!! Man im hungry!
