Nasi Bakar refers to steamed rice seasoned with spices and ingredients and wrapped in banana leaves secured with lidi semat (here I used toothpicks) and grilled upon charcoal fire. The burned banana leaves produced a unique aroma upon the rice. (source: Wikipedia) IG @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel

Another version of Indonesian fried rice! Some people call it Nasi Goreng Jawa aka Javanese Fried Rice because it’s originally from Java (one of the biggest islands in Indonesia). Some people call it Nasi Goreng Terasi aka Terasi (Shrimp Paste) Fried Rice because it uses ‘terasi’ as one of the ingredients. Whatever the name is, this simple yet delicious fried rice is at the top of the list!!! 😋😋😋 IG @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel

I love spicy food, and this menu is quite common in restaurants or streets in Indonesia, but rarely found (with a good taste) in my city. So, once I searched for the recipe from google (sorry I lost the link), I found this wonderful one, the best flavor of all, even from the restaurants that I ever ate. Sweet, savory and spicy, taste better with warm steam rice. 😘😘😘

Fried Rice or Nasi Goreng is Indonesia's most popular dish which could be served as breakfast, lunch, and dinner - basically any time of the day. The main ingredients are rice and spices. Vegetables and flesh are optionally added according to one's taste. There are a lot of variations and you will probably get different tastes from different chefs using the same ingredients! 😉It is believed that this dish was invented to make use of leftover rice which people didn't want to throw away. And I do believe that the most delicious fried rice I've ever had was made out of leftover rice, by my father.On this recipe, however, I am using freshly cooked rice. I find basmati rice the most suitable rice to be used for this dish since the texture is a bit dry and loose.

I seem to be in a fried rice frenzy these days. Largely due to the influence of Uncle Roger storming thru social media. Haiya! If you do not know who Uncle Roger is, you are clearly missing out a lot. Like a lot! Secondly, after my kimchi fried rice, I began falling in love with fried rice even tho I am not a fan of rice. Yes, I am saying that out loud. I am considered a black sheep for disliking rice in my family, cos dogma has it that Asians need to have rice in their diet.After Lunar New Year, we will tend to have loads of bak kwa remaining. My grandma just whipped up this fried rice one day, using bak kwa leftovers and a very unique sauce. Her secret ingredient is the black fermented shrimp paste. It has that sweet umami bomb that elevates the whole dish. You can of cos use bacon or even Prosciutto. If you want your bacon or Prosciutto to be crispy, you can precook them before stir-frying into the fried rice. In closing, I hope you will give this recipe a try and I hope Uncle Roger will approve.

MY FAVOURITE SPICY PRAWN RICEINSPIRED BY NEIGHBOUR CAFE AUNTY WONGLOVING IT

Many years ago I worked with an ex royal marine who had traveled the world and we discovered that we had a common interest in food and he told me that on board ship the chef would save whatever meat or bacon or sausage was left over each day and on a friday would use it up with rice and make a what he called a nasigoren, I made this many times over the years and later discovered it was based on a nasi goreng which the chef probably came across in Indonesia, so here is my version and in tribute to scouse my old colleague from my time with the navy.

The Indonesian food that I had for lunch today wasn't nasi goreng, but it reminded me of it. This came out so much better than that dish that I had at an Indonesian restaurant ages ago!Taste the spicy pepper before cooking it. If it's not spicy, then the dish won't be spicy. You can switch out the fish sauce for Indonesian seasonings, but since I don't have any, I used fish sauce. Recipe by Urinbou
