My sister and I used to travel quite a bit in Indonesia, different town different taste/kind of food. And nasi goreng was our ‘safe’ meal.
Wherever we were, when we were not certain about what to order, we always chose nasi goreng since it’s always eatable. You just can’t go wrong with it.
Yummy..nasi goreng with fried egg on top 🙂

Hiya Bev:) Here’s how i make me nasi goreng:
Cook the rice first. Then separately fry whatever meat/fishballs/omelette etc. When you fry the meat make sure you marinate it a little while with some curry powder/tumeric & salt. You can also add soy sauce and oyster sauce in the marinade for extra flavour.
Once you’ve got all that ready, fry some belacan with a sambla mixture(you can get ready made ones) or if you need to make your own: Blend fresh red chillies, a few dried chillies for the extra oomph!,
ginger (a small amt.)/garlic (small amt)/onions (small amt)/one or 2 tomatoes/and if you want some seseme seed oil and of course water. Once its nicely blended fry it well and then add some tamarind water (abt a cup) and salt to taste till the sambal is cooked (you might have to cook it for at least 20-30 minutes stirring it frequently so you don’t get the raw chilly taste) If you have gula mealaka/brown sugar add it too so you get the nice dark colour sambal.
So now you got your cooked rice,your fried meat and vege and whatever else you wanna put into your fried rice and your sambal.
When your sambal is cooked and smelling nice,add your meat and veg and whateverelse and mix it throughly. Then finally add your rice and mix it well.
I hope I haven’t confused you but its really quite simple.

Eek.. it uses all these ingredients that Chris won’t have at his place! I was hoping it’ll use stuff that he already has so we don’t have to buy any extra stuff.. Maybe I’ll just cook chinese fried rice ‘cos I don’t think I need stuff like curry powder, oyster sauce, chilli, belachan, etc.. it sounds so good though! :*(
Nasi Goreng’s Fried Rice in malay.. its just basically ur normal fried rice 🙂
Well.. yeah.. but it just tastes different to Chinese fried rice – it has a lot more spice to it as well as a charcoal peppery taste, that’s what I’m trying to get, and I love it with a fried egg on top.. mmmmmmm :)~
