I had 8 sticks of leftover satay in the freezer including a little bit of the satay gravy. I also had some frozen rice, brought forward from a recent family gathering. Sounds like a perfect situation to make fried rice :)

I didn't need any special seasoning as the satay will contribute lots of flavor to the rice. All I needed was some onions and garlic. I also added diced cucumbers and cili padi for additional oomph!

It was very delicious and I highly recommend that you try it if you have any leftover satay. Or why not buy some satay to cook this fried rice?
You can just go by your own estimates. My recipe below is just a guide :)
Satay Fried Rice
Recipe source : Phong Hong's concoction
Ingredients :
- 2 cups overnight cooked rice
- Meat from 5 sticks of chicken satay
- 1 big onion, diced
- 1 large clove of garlic, chopped
- 2 cili padi, sliced
- some diced cucumbers
- 1 tablespoon kicap manis (sweet soya sauce)
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
Method :
1. Heat oil in frying pan and saute onions until translucent.
2. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
3. Add satay meat and fry until heated through.
4. Add rice, kicap manis and fish sauce.
5. Fry until rice is well incorporated with ingredients.
6. Add cili padi and diced cucumbers and mix well.
7. Serve with some satay sauce.
And you can also top with a fried eggs to make it extra special. I will definitely cook this fried rice again as it was very tasty. Hmmm.....I'll go and buy some satay one of these days.
PH, very innovative of you to create a totally different dish!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Veronica! It turned out very well and I'll be sure to buy extra satay because it's rare to have leftovers in my house :)
Deletei would find the cucumber gets soggy after a while, try petai as substitute... and the egg is to die for...
ReplyDeleteAgreed, have to serve immediately. Wow, petai will sure make it extra oomph!
DeletePandainya, nampak sedap sekali. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy new year 2013.
ReplyDeleteSonia, ini masakan orang malas hee..hee...A Merry Christmas and Happy 2013 to you too!
DeleteOooh.....this must be super real flavourful fried rice! Of course the last photo, with an egg to go with it, Phong Hong's favourite!!

Your fried rice looks awesome! I love satay so I would love this fried rice very much!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jeannie! You must try it :)
DeleteLooks tasty. Inviting and tempting fried rice. Rice with satay is new to me.
ReplyDeleteVidya, I hope that you will try it because it is really good!
DeleteAh.. meals re-purposed from leftovers - a girl after my own heart.. But then again, anything with rice and the word FRY is a winner for me. I'm lovin the use of cucumbers. Since the bale garden always produces a bounty of them I'm always trying to find a way to utilize them in cooked preparations.
ReplyDeleteToby, waste not want not, another source of invention besides necessity! I am sure satay isn't something new to you and if you do get some, try this fried rice.
DeleteYummy scrummy! I like the peanut satay sauce! Would love to try it one day, but I have to make the satay myself, no satay selling here.
ReplyDeleteStephanie, I don't know how to make satay and it would be great if you tried and blogged about it :)
DeleteOh? Would love to try this. I've done something along this line with noodles but not with rice. All good wishes for a Blessed Christmas and an awesome 2013 to you and your loved ones.
ReplyDeleteArthur, would love to see your post if you do cook this fried rice. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and all at home!
DeleteThis looks very delicious! Love the flavors of satay in fried rice.
ReplyDeleteMich, the satay gave the rice lots of flavors. I hope you try it someday :)
DeleteWow, satay rice! Looks so delicious! We would usually have satay at the stall, next time must ta-pau back some to try this fried rice. Yum, yum!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, must try! And cook extra :)
