Nasi Goreng

[Nefarious]

Did this Indonesian rice dish last night. Very yummy indeed (not to mention quick and relatively healthy), and will now almost certainly be a regular menu feature.

For those unfamiliar, it's usually made with chicken, prawns, vegetables and rice in a spicy sauce (not a million miles away from Singapore fried rice), topped with shredded omelette and spring onions.

I used a paste out of a jar for my first go, but will be kncoking up my own in future.

Also to be found ready-prepped in the frozen section of Lidl!

Lovely dish. Had it for dinner on Wednesday night.

Try adding a dollop of Sambal Olek to the side for a bit of extra kick - goes really well with the egg in particular.

Yes it's a great dish, which my Dutch wife introduced me to.

We always stock up on the sambal oelek and Seroendeng to accompany the nasi when over in Holland.

you can buy sambal oelek in chinese supermarkets here mate - thats a long way to go for a sauce!

actually, i think Sainsbury's sell it now in the fine foods section...

Indeed, I bought a 725g jar of Sambal Oelek when I was last in Chinatown for 3 quid or so from memory (I went through the smaller jar too quick, so got the monster jar...)

I have seen it in Sainsbury's or Tesco in their premium range going for silly money.

Bought some of the paste from a chinese shop in Worcester called "Yum Yum" this afternoon. Looking forward to it!
