AMAZING NASI GORENG

Steps:

• Boil the rice according to the instructions on the package. Make sure that the rice is fluffy.
• In a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and fry the smoked bacon and pork or chicken until done.
• Add the onion and garlic.
• Turn the heat to medium and simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a separate large saucepan, bring the carrot and cabbage to a boil in about 4 cups of water. Boil for 3 minutes; drain.
• Add the leek and trassi oedang to the meat mixture; simmer for 3 minutes.
• Add the cooked cabbage and carrot mixture.
• Keep the entire mixture on low heat and stir in the beaten eggs until they are well incorporated.
• Add the ketjap manis, cumin, curcumae, coriander, and sambal oelek if using.
• Stir well and add the fluffy white rice.
• Mix well and serve warm.
• Serving Ideas:.
• May serve with sate (peanut sauce) on the side.
• NOTES : Trassi is a shrimp paste found in Asian grocery stores. If you do not have any, you can either use peeled shrimp mixed in with the other meat, or leave it out all together.
• Ketjap manis is a sweet soy sauce. Use regular soy sauce if you can't find this type, but you are missing something wonderful! We don't use the cabbage in our nasi.
• Instead of the spices listed above, we usually just buy a Nasi goreng spice mixture at a Dutch store, or Chinese market. It is easy and very good.
• I don't know what curcumae is so I guess we don't put it in our nasi!

NASI GORENG

Steps:

• If cooking the rice, prepare according to package instructions. Cool and set aside. (This can be done up to day ahead).
• Mix the soy sauce, fish sauce, sambal oelek and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl and set near the stove. Place all the remaining ingredients by the stove as well. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok or large deep skillet over high heat. Add the eggs and cook, swirling the pan but not stirring the eggs, so the eggs spread out to make a flat, set omelet, about 2 minutes. Remove the omelet from the wok to the work surface, cool, and slice into strips.
• Add 1 more tablespoon oil to the pan and, when hot, add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until just pink, about 3 minutes. Remove from the wok and chop coarsely. Wipe out any accumulated juices in the wok.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the shallots, garlic, brown sugar and coriander and cook until the shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Add the rice along with the soy sauce mixture and stir to coat and combine. Increase the heat to medium-high and continue stir-frying until the rice is heated through and lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and egg strips and cook until just heated through. Transfer to a platter and top with the drained scallions and carrots. Serve with more sambal oelek and hoisin, as desired.
