From lapis@netwalk.com Wed Jun 25 15:58:50 1997 Date: 24 Jun 1997 03:58:10 -0600 From: Amy Rutherford Newsgroups: rec.food.recipes Subject: Indonesian Fried Rice(Nasi Goreng) Followup-To: rec.food.cooking NASI GORENG (INDONESIAN FRIED RICE) This recipe is from "Indonesian Cookery" by David Scott and Surya Winata, except I added the sesame oil, because I thought it brought about a better flavor. The Basic Recipe Serves 2-4 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 medium onion, sliced 1 clove garlic, crushed 2 red chilies, finely chopped or 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes or garlic-chile paste 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar 1 pound ( a couple of cups) cold cooked rice dash of dark sesame oil Heat the oil in a heavy pan or wok, add the onion garlic and chilies and stir fry fry for one minute, taking care not to burn the garlic. Add the rice, soy sauce and brown sugar. Mix and cook, stirring continuously for 5-6 minutes, adding more oil if the rice sticks too much. Just before serving, add the sesame oil to the pan and mix well. Garnish with egg strips or 1 fried egg per person. To this base you can add(before adding rice): Chopped ham Cooked chicken, cubed Cooked shrimps Green peas Beef, pork, mushroom, almost anything you think would sound good. My favorite is a combination of the ham and/or chicken and peas. To garnish: Cucumber slices Roasted Peanuts Egg Strips or Fried Egg Tomato wedges Green Onions Serve the rice with soy sauce and chile paste on the side, so everyone can season their rice to taste. ~~~ Rec.food.recipes is moderated; only recipes and recipe requests are accepted for posting.
