Add the sesame oil to your wok and heat over medium high heat. Add the diced onion, ginger, turmeric and cumin and cook while stirring for about 5 minutes, or until the onions become translucent. Add the crushed garlic to the wok and cook for another minute.
Add the cooked rice to the wok, and mix the cooked onion into it. If the rice has just come from the fridge, you may need to use a spatula to break it up a bit so that the rice and onion can mix together. Add the ketjap manis, sambal Oelek and soy sauce to the wok and mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings amongst the rice.
Add the vegetables (except the spinach) to the dish and stir fry while mixing the rice and vegetables to combine for about 3 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened a bit. Once the vegetables have softened, add the spinach. You don’t want to over cook it, just wilt it as you fold it in to the rice mixture.
Using a non stick frying pan, cook your eggs to your desired level of doneness. We really like our eggs over easy as we really love how mixing the egg yolk into the dish adds a nice creamy finish to it.
Divide the fried rice amongst 4 bowls, and top with an egg and peanuts. Garnish with a generous helping of cilantro and a slice of lime – a quick squeeze of lime juice on the dish before eating a nice zest to the dish and really helps to highlight all the flavours.
