INDONESIAN FRIED RICE (NASI GORENG)

Steps:

• Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Spread onto a baking sheet, and refrigerate 2 hours until cold.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Pour eggs into hot skillet. Cook until the eggs begin to set, lifting up the edges of the set eggs to allow the uncooked egg to contact the hot pan, about 1 minute. Flip omelet in one piece and cook until fully set, about 30 seconds. Slice omelet into 1/2 inch strips.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Stir in the onion, leek, garlic, and chile peppers. Cook, stirring, until onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken, prawns, coriander, and cumin, mixing well. Cook and stir for approximately 5 minutes.
• Mix in the cold rice, sweet soy sauce, and omelet strips; cook until shrimp are bright pink and chicken is no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.

INDONESIAN FRIED RICE - NASI GORENG

Steps:

• Note: This dish is usually served with traditional meat accompaniments or with meat in the dish; so the meat and cabbage to go in is optional.
• Stir the rice with a fork to separate the grains.
• Pour a small amount of oil in a wok and fry the egg to make a thin omelet; cool, then shred.
• Heat the remaining oil in the wok and fry the shallots, garlic, chilies and shrimp paste until the shallots are tender (if adding any meat or shredded cabbage to this dish, add now and cook until meat is cooked through).
• Increase the heat to high and add the rice, salt and soy sauce, adding a little oil if necessary, stirring constantly until well mixed and heated through.
• Garnish with shredded egg, cucumber, and tomato.
• Serve with fried egg, fried chicken, satay, and shrimp crackers, (in the traditional style), if desired.

BALINESE VEGETABLE CURRY WITH FRIED RICE: NASI GORENG

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree the shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, nuts, shrimp paste, lemongrass, coriander, chile, tomato paste, and tamarind juice and puree until smooth.
• Prepare a hot skillet coated with the oil. Add the pureed mixture and cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the kaffir lime leaves, stock, and coconut milk and simmer until the mixture becomes a sauce consistency, about 10 minutes. Remove the kaffir lime leaves and season with the salt and pepper. Just before serving, mix in the blanched vegetables with the sauce and heat thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper and check for flavor.
• In a large pasta bowl, fill with the rice and top with vegetable curry. Garnish with fried shallots.
• In a wok on high heat, coated lightly with oil, stir-fry the shallots and garlic until lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger, lemongrass, sambal, soy, and eggs and quickly mix. Add the rice, chiles, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, if necessary and check for flavor.
• Toss the shallots with the flour and fry in a 350 fryer until crispy. Remove from the fryer and drain on paper towels. Season with the salt.

NASI GORENG (INDONESIAN STIR-FRIED RICE)

Steps:

• Put the rice in a medium heavy-based saucepan and add 520ml water. Quickly bring to the boil, stir once and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 mins. Uncover, fluff up with a fork and spread over a tray. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Pour in the beaten egg and, as it begins to cook, use a spatula to bring large flakes of cooked egg into the middle of the omelette. Continue to cook like this for a couple of mins, then leave the rest of the egg to set completely. Flip the omelette over and transfer to a plate to cool before cutting it into long, thin shreds.
• Drop the beans into a pan of boiling salted water and cook for 3 mins. Drain, refresh under cold water and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in a wok or large, deep frying pan until almost smoking. Add the chicken and prawns, and stir-fry for 1 min. Tip in the shallots, garlic, chillies and carrots, and stir-fry for a further 2 mins until the carrot is just tender. Add the spice paste and stir-fry for 1 min more. Add the tomato purée, kecap manis, cooked rice and green beans, and stir-fry over a high heat for 2 mins. Add the soy sauce, spring onions and shredded omelette, and toss together.
• Spoon the nasi goreng onto warmed plates. Overlap the cucumber and tomato on the side of each plate, sprinkle over the crispy fried onions and serve with prawn crackers.
