I first ate this fried rice at my sister-in-law's place. I was blown over by the simplicity of this dish. I couldn't have imagined that a can of sardine in tomato sauce can do wonders for a fried rice dish. Since then, hubby had told me this is their family favourite. He had cooked this for me before but I have since perfected it.
All one need are just a can of sardine in tomato sauce, day old rice, french or long beans and seasonings. That's it, very simple. Mash the sardine up together with the tomato sauce, hubby likes them all mashed up finely where else I like mine chunky, so it's entirely up to you what kind of texture you like. Squeeze in a bit of lemon juice if you fancy some tang.
First heat up some oil in the wok. Pour in the diced french beans which worked best for this dish. You may also add in some diced onions. Next add in some salt. Stir and dump in the rice. Mix throughly to coat the rice with the oil before pouring in the sardine. Stir fry to coat the rice with the sardine until evenly. Remember to eat this fried rice while its hot, otherwise, store them in the rice cooker with the keep warm setting until you're ready to eat them.

ReplyDeleteI never came across any stall that sells Nasi Tomato Sardin. Yours must be the first!!
ReplyDeleteBabe,
ReplyDeleteI make mine without the tomato sauce - but with a bit of curry powder and lemon or lime juice and lots of red chillies. If you have fishsauce use that instead of salt - got kick one :P
Tuna fried rice is also yummy with petite pois, lots and lots of garlic and ginger and eggs!!!
my winter comfort food ;-)
