When I started playing pro tournaments, Dad and I traveled to Bandung, Indonesia and Solo, Indonesia to play 2 pro circuit events. These were the lowest tier of events, but at that time there were no pro women tournaments in India. Both these places were small towns with really nothing going on. The TV was all in Bahasa, the local language and in general, these events were surely not easy or fun. The 2 dishes that we got used to in Indonesia were Nasi Goreng and Bami Goreng, Fried Rice and Noodles. Since we ate eggs, this was our staple during our two weeks there.
Nowadays in Asian markets, you get Nasi Goreng mix packets just like Thai Green or Thai Red Curry packets. Its actually very easy to assemble, but quite unique in taste. Its served with scrambled omlette and cucumbers and tomatoes. Its a good rice dish thats a abit out of the ordinary. The easiest way I would describe it is its in between biriyani and fried rice.
Ingredients :
1 packet Nasi Goreng mix
cooked chicken, shrimp or tofu ( as needed)
Cooked rice- 3 cups
eggs- beaten - 4
cucumbers and tomatoes- diced- 3 tablespoons
oil- 3 tablespoons
shallots, garlic- minced- 1 tablespoon
chilli paste- 1/2 teaspoon or as needed
salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Take a non stick wok and add 2 tablespoons oil. Add beaten aggs and let it cook without touching it. Flip it over after 2 minutes and add salt and pepper. Once egg is done, take it out and let it rest. Add the rest fo the oil and saute the shallots and garlic. Add the cooked shrimp, chicken or tofu and saute for 2-3 minutes minutes with chilli paste. Switch off heat and in the same wok, add rice and nasi goreng mix and mix thoroughly. Cut strips of egg and garnish with Cucumbers and tomatoes. Enjoy.
