Tornado egg

Serves 4

Difficulty Medium

Prep Time 10 mminutes

Cooking Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

8 free-range eggs
1 T canola oil
chilli oil, for serving

For the rice:

1 T olive oil
3 spring onions, finely chopped
1 T fresh ginger, finely grated
4 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 t fresh turmeric, finely grated
35 g red curry paste
200 g basmati rice
1¼ cups vegetable stock
1 T butter
salt, to taste

Method

1. To make the rice, heat the olive oil in a large pan, then add the spring onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, turmeric and curry paste and cook for 5 minutes, then add the rice and stock. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked. Add the butter and season. Cover and leave over a low heat.

2. Beat 2 eggs together – this will be a portion for one person. Heat the canola oil in a medium pan until very hot, then pour in the beaten egg and swirl the egg mixture in the centre of the pan using 2 chopsticks until a tornado pattern forms – it helps to swirl the pan in the opposite direction. Repeat with the remaining eggs.

3. Serve the hot egg on top of the rice, seasoned with chilli oil.
