The joy of Nasi Goreng!

The other day I looked in my fridge and it was full of leftovers. This joyous recipe turned all my leftovers into a really tasty dish (this is enough just for one person):


1/2 small white onion, diced
1 carrot, cut into julienne strips
a handful of mushrooms, sliced
tail end of a butternut squash, diced
1 garlic clove, sliced
1/4 scotch bonnet chilli
1 cup brown rice
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp chopped fresh mint
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
1 egg

Over a medium-low heat, fry the onion, mushroom, butternut squash and carrot in a little sesame oil until soft (about 5 minutes)
Add the garlic and chilli and fry for a further minute. 
Add the rice, soy sauce, more sesame oil, mint and coriander and stir fry for about 2 minutes. Finally, crack the egg into the frying pan and stir until the egg has cooked.

Serve and enjoy! It's so tasty and satisfying.
