Smoked Trout Fried Rice with Fried Egg Relish
This recipe comes from Perth’s latest CBD bar; The Apple Daily. I found it in a copy of Delicious magazine from earlier on in the year, and knew I had to try it, as I was craving some hot smoked trout.
The flavour combination of the curry paste mixed in with the scrambled eggs makes this fried rice extra special. Make it as spicy as you like by adding more or less chilli. The recipe does suggest serving with cucumber ribbons, so they would definitely help deal with spiciness. The corn kernels add a great sweetness to the dish, and the lime brings a nice tang.
Works great reheated for lunch the next day, and easy to conger up after work on a weeknight; tip – cook the rice the night before 😉
