Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice)

3 eggs
Salt and pepper
Oil for frying
8 oz raw prawns
1 lb pork or lean beef steak
2 medium onions
2 cloves garlic
½ tsp dried shrimp paste (trasi)
4 cups cold, cooked rice
6 spring onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp light soy sauce
3 tbsp onion flakes
1 green cucumber, sliced

Instructions:
Beat eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Heat very little oil in a frying pan and make an omelet with half the beaten eggs. Turn on to a plate to cool (do not fold omelet). Repeat process with remaining beaten eggs. When cool, put one omelet on top of the other, roll up and cut into thin strips.
Shell and de-vein prawns, cut beef or pork into fine strips. Chop onions roughly and put in blender container with garlic and shrimp paste. Cover and blend to a paste. (If blender is not available, finely chop onions and crush garlic. Dissolve trasi in a little hot water. Combine these three ingredients.)
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan or wok and fry the blended ingredients until cooked. Add prawns and meat to pan and fry, stirring constantly, until they are cooked. Add 2 tablespoons more oil and when hot stir in the rice and onions, tossing and mixing thoroughly until very hot. Sprinkle with soy sauce and mix evenly.
Serve the fried rice garnished with strips of omelet, fried onion flakes and cucumber.
