Method

1

Bring a small saucepan of water to the boil and lower in the eggs. Cook for 6½ mins before removing and plunging into ice water. Peel the soft-boiled eggs and set aside.

2

Flake the mackerel fillets into bite-sized chunks, finely slice the garlic and spring onions and halve the tomatoes. Slice the cucumber in half, lengthways, and use a small spoon to remove the seeds. Cut into thin slices.

3

Set a wok over a high heat and add a shot of sesame oil. Add the cooked rice and break up with the back of a ladle or spoon. Cook for 2-3 mins until it starts to crisp-up and caramelise. Tip out onto a plate and return the wok to the heat.

4

Add another shot of oil and tip in the garlic and curry paste. Cook for 1-2 mins before adding the tomatoes. Stir fry for 2-3 mins until they start to blister and the skins loosen. Now return the rice to the pan and toss through the curry paste, mackerel, and tomatoes.

5

Add the spring onions, soy sauce and basil leaves. Add the juice of 1 lime and divide between warm bowls. Serve with sliced cucumbers, extra lime, and a soft-boiled egg.
