Treat your ingredients with care...
- Lamb — For tender and flavorful lamb, marinate the slices in the spice blend for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Sambal sauce — Adjust the amount of sambal sauce according to your spice preference. Add more for extra heat or reduce for a milder flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- To enhance the flavors, use day-old cooked rice as it tends to be drier and less sticky.
- Customize the dish by adding other vegetables such as bell peppers or green beans.
- For an extra burst of freshness, squeeze some lime juice over the fried rice before serving.
- If lamb is not available, you can substitute it with beef or chicken.
- Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less sambal sauce according to your preference.
Serving advice
Serve the Spicy Lamb Fried Rice hot as a main course. It pairs well with a side of pickled vegetables or a fresh cucumber salad.
Presentation advice
Garnish the dish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and a few slices of red chili for an appealing pop of color. Serve it in a vibrant bowl or on a banana leaf for an authentic touch.
