Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice)
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 c Long-grain rice
- 8 Shallots or 1 small onion
- 4 Red chillis or 2 tsp chilli -powder and 2 tsp paprika
- 4 tb Vegetable oil
- Salt
- 2 ts Sweet soya sauce
- 2 ts Tomato ketchup
Directions
The name Nasi Goreng means simply fried rice, and it is really a collective description of an indefinite number of slightly differing dishes. You can vary the trimmings and garnishes to suit your taste; but even the most elaborate Nasi Goreng is quick to make. It is a particularly good luncheon dish.
Boil the rice a good long time before you intend to fry it; you can fry freshly boiled rice, but the Nasi Goreng will be better if the boiled rice is allowed to cool. Two hours is a satisfactory interval. Leaving the rice to cool overnight, however, gives less good results-the rice has time to go dry and stale. An important point to note here is that rice for Nasi Goreng must be cooked with the least possible quantity of water; this prevents it from becoming too soft. For 1 cup of rice, use 1 cup of water. Assuming you have now got your cool, boiled rice, proceed like this: slice the shallots or onion, seed and slice the chilli (or pound the shallots and chilli together in a mortar). Heat the oil in a wok; it makes no difference, by the way, whether you use oil, fat, or butter. Saute the shallots and chilli for a minute or so, and season with salt, soya sauce, and tomato ketchup. Put in all the rice, and stir it continuously until it is well heated: this will take 5 to 8 minutes. Serve in a good large dish, generously garnished with sliced cucumber, tomatoes, fried onions, and Krupuk.
Oseng-Oseng Wortel (Stir Fried Carrots)
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 250 g (8 oz) carrots
- 4 Shallots
- 1 Clove garlic
- 1/2 Green or red chilli or
- 1 pn Of chilli powder
- 4 tb Good stock or 1 ts Dark soya sauce and 4 tb -water
- 2 tb Vegetable oil
Directions
These are carrots, cut into matchsticks and cooked in a little oil or butter. The word wortel doesnt sound Malay, and isnt. It is borrowed from the Dutch name for the carrot, since it was the Dutch who introduced this vegetable to Malaysia.
Peel, wash, and cut the carrots into small sticks. Slice the shallots and chilli. Crush the garlic. In a wok, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or clarified butter. Saute the slice shallots and chilli for 1 minute, then add the garlic and the carrots. Stir continuously for a minute or so and then put in the stock, or soya sauce and water. Cover and continue to cook for 4 minutes. Uncover, taste, and add salt if necessary. Cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring all the time. Serve hot.
Makes 2 servings.

Atjar Tjampoer
Serving Size : 1
Ingredients
- 100 g Carrots
- Salt
- 100 g Green beans
- 4 ea Scallions
- 100 g White cabbage
- 2 ea Toes of garlic
- 1/4 ea Cucumber
- 1 tb Oil
- 150 ml Vinegar
- 100 g Bean sprouts/shoots
- 1 tb Sugar
- 1 t Powdered ginger
- 1 t Kunjit/kurkuma
- 1 t Sambal ulek
Directions
Cut carrot into the size of matches. Cut beans in 1 pieces. Chafe the cabbage. In a pan with a little water and salt, boil the vegetables for 5 minutes. Drain. Cut cucumber in *small* cubes.
Peel scallions and garlic. Put in kitchen machine; cut to paste. Mix with sambal, kunjit and ginger.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Fry the herb-mixture for 2 minutes. Add vinegar and sugar; stir to dissolve sugar. Add all vegetables (also the ones not cooked yet); add a *little* water if there is too little liquid. Boil softly for 2 minutes. Put in a bowl and let cool. You can also preserve it by putting the hot veggies in sterilized screw-lid jars (metal lids with a dome in the middle are quite handy, I always save jam-jars when theyre empty); add liquid as well. Screw the lids on. Place jars upside down until cooled completely (the dome in the lid will be down, this is to check if the jar closed well). Can be kept for at least a year (store in dark place to avoid having the color goes away). Nice as a present! Kunjit or kurkuma is a herb. If I look on the jar, it says powdered yellow-root. It is used to color this dish, and other dishes as well. In that way it is much like saffron, although kunjit tastes a little bitter.
Sambal ulek: Used as an accompaniment and in cooking. Made by crushing fresh red chilis with a little salt. Remove the seeds from the chilis, chop finely, then crush with salt using a pestle and mortar. Three chilis will make about 1 tablespoon sambal ulek. Also available ready-prepared in small jars from Oriental stores and some delicatessens.
This is a refreshing side dish made of crisp, sweet-and-sour vegetables. Goes really well with Nasi Goreng. The dish can be kept in the fridge for a few days.
