Nasi Goreng
Virginia Spielmann
Translates simply as ’fried rice’. I’ve seen a lot of versions of this and have to admit I’ve never been to Indonesia but I lived in Hong Kong and this is the version I got to know and love there. The magic is in the sambal oelek, a staple of Indonesian cookery, which the rice is fried in. If you can’t get hold of any I’m going to submit a recipe for it next.
