Ingredients

• broccoli a large head, stalk chopped and cut into florets
• shallots 2 long, chopped
• garlic 3 cloves, chopped
• ginger a thumb-sized piece, chopped
• lemongrass 1 stick, thinly sliced
• toasted sesame oil 2 tsp
• red chilli 1, finely sliced
• red pepper 1, finely sliced
• carrot 1, peeled into ribbons
• mangetout a handful, halved
• soy sauce 2 tbsp
• tamarind paste 2 tbsp
• caster sugar 1 tsp
• lime 1, quartered to serve
• eggs 2, fried (we used Clarence Court Burford Browns)
• roasted peanuts a handful, chopped

Method

• Step 1

  Put the chopped broccoli stalk into a food processor and pulse until it is finely chopped like grains of rice. Tip out into a bowl and then repeat with the broccoli florets.

  Step 2

  Put the shallots, garlic, ginger and lemongrass in the food processor and pulse until finely chopped.

  Step 3

  Heat the sesame oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the shallot mixture until lightly golden. Tip in the broccoli rice with 2 tbsp of water, ¾ of the chilli and all of the pepper, and fry for 5 minutes until the broccoli is cooked through and beginning to caramelise. Add in the carrot and mangetout.

  Step 4

  Mix together the soy, tamarind, sugar and the juice of two of the lime quarters, then tip this into the pan with a little seasoning. Cook for 5 minutes until the sauce is coating everything. Divide between two plates and top with the fried eggs, chopped peanuts, remaining chilli and the extra lime wedges for squeezing over.
