Vegetarian Belacan Fried Rice

Belacan Fried Rice - you can simply do it yourself, no problem. I add tempeh and carrot to substitute prawn or shrimps which usually call for. Lots of lettuce and cucumber are used to garnish this fried rice and also to increase the fiber intake. If you love fried dried chilli, use more!

Preparation: 5 mins, Cooking time: 8 mins

Ingredients (serves 2)
° 2 bowls cooked rice
° 15g-20g vegetarian belacan, chopped and mashed
° 2 dried chilli, chopped
° 2 pieces (100g) fresh tempeh, chopped
° 25g carrot, peeled and chopped
° 2½ -3 tablespoons olive oil
° some lettuces and cucumber slices, for garnish

Method
1. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan, fry the vegetarian belacan and dried chilli for 1 minute.
2. Add in the tempeh and fry for another 1 minute or until fragrant over medium heat.
3. Stir in the cooked rice and carrot. If it is too dry, sprinkle some water on it. Fry about 2-3 minutes or until rice is heated through. Serve hot.

Tip
1. Rice for frying must be cooked at least 2 hours in advance or the night before.
