⚠️ Soya
⚠️ Sesame

Instructions

1 ✓

Rinse the rice, then cook in salted water. Once done, let it cool slightly.

Tip: For fried rice style dishes, day-old, cold rice is better as it doesn't clump together in the pan.
2 ✓

Roughly chop the macadamia nuts and toast in a dry frying pan for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Set aside.

Tip: Nuts have a high oil content and burn quickly under heat, stay alert!
3 ✓

Heat the sesame oil in the same frying pan. Throw in the chopped garlic and grated ginger. Fry for half a minute.

Tip: The essential oils of the ginger and garlic are released quickly.
4 ✓

Add the cooked rice and stir-fry over high heat with the spiced oil. Drizzle with the soy sauce.

Tip: The soy sauce caramelises in the hot pan, providing the 'umami' bomb.
5 ✓

Finally, stir in the toasted nuts and sliced spring onions. Season with pepper to taste.

Tip: The spring onion should remain crisp, so only add it at the very end before serving.

Recipe FAQ

Can macadamia nuts be substituted?
Yes, with cashews or blanched almonds, but the special, buttery taste of macadamia is hard to replace.
Why sesame oil?
Toasted sesame oil has a very intense flavour, a little goes a long way. It's more of a seasoning than a cooking fat.
