Indonesian Fried Rice (Nasi Goreng)

Wed, 07 May 2003 20:04:59 -0400

When I lived in Holland several years ago, I often indulged in this spicy rice dish. This recipe, from an old newspaper cutting, is the most authentic I have found, and closely matches the wonderful taste sensation I experienced in Holland. More unusual ingredients, such as shrimp paste (also known variously as belacan, balachan, blachan and trassi) can be found in Asian speciality food stores. I must warn you that dried shrimp paste smells rather awful, but the taste in the finished dish is wonderfully aromatic, and essential to the authenticity of Indonesian cuisine. Nasi Goreng can be served as a main dish, as a component of a Dutch/Indonesian 'rijstafel' or as a side dish. It is commonly eaten by Indonesians for breakfast, which you can do also if there is any left from the previous day (doubtful!). Preparation time does not include cooking and cooling the rice. -- posted by Daydream

"Some Like It Hot"

Indonesian Pork-Babi Pangang

Mon, 16 Jun 2003 20:02:54 -0400

This Indonesian pork dish has as many variations in the Netherlands as hamburgers and pizza's do in America. This is my own variation, with the biggest difference that I add chili oil or paste to it. Babi Pangang is supposed to be a sweet spiced dish, not hot. The ginger, garlic and lemon juice are also often left out. Serve with rice and an Indonesian vegetable dish or as part of a Rijsttafel. Do use shoulder chops, you will need that bit of fat which they have. I do realise this sounds strange, but I also like this finely chopped in a salad stuffed pita with tzatziki. Prep time does not include marinating time. -- posted by Pets'R'us

Indonesian Bahmi Goreng

Wed, 01 Oct 2003 20:01:10 -0400

As a young teenager in the 50's, my mother used to send me & my younger brother to the Indonesian Quarters in Amsterdam to buy 2 buckets of steaming hot Bahmi Goreng. (A Saturday event). Through many experiments & using numerous suggestions from others, I have been making this one now for about 30 years. It takes a bit of preparing but it is worth the effort. Preparation and cooking times are approximates only. -- posted by Frank Bylard

Indonesian Chicken

Fri, 27 Feb 2004 20:00:23 -0500

Don't get on my case if this isn't authentically Indonesian, okay? When I found the recipe, it was called Indonesian Chicken, and, not being Indonesian or knowing anyone from Indonesia, I can neither confirm nor deny that this is, indeed, Indonesian Chicken. It is, however, definitely a recipe for chicken, and a mighty tasty one at that. The peanut sauce is also useful to put on things that you don't want to serve naked, such as noodles, rice, or steamed veggies. -- posted by ThatBobbieGirl

Vegetarian Mi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Noodles)

Fri, 08 Oct 2004 19:59:24 -0400

This was a favorite in the hostel that I lived in and we were lucky enough to have the real stuff in Indonesia. You can just buy the 20cent ramen packets and not use the flavorings. That works just fine, and I recommend the eggs more than the tofu... but whatever floats your boat. -- posted by kleigh83

Bami Goreng ( Indonesian Stir Fried Noodles )

Thu, 03 Feb 2005 20:00:10 -0500

There are as many recipes for Bami Goreng as there are people to make them. Bami Goreng is an Indonesian dish that's traditional to Holland. It seems like a lot of work but it really isn't - if I'm having company for dinner I slice, dice and prepare all my ingredients (including cooking the noodles) and place them in separate zip-lock bags in the refrigerator until I'm ready to use. This makes actual cooking time a snap! This is my version and I hope you enjoy it. You can spice it up if you like by adding more or less sambal. -- posted by - Carla -

Easy Indonesian Fried Rice (Bumbu Nasi Goreng)

Sun, 27 Feb 2005 20:00:28 -0500

I bought a jar of Kokita brand Nasi Goreng seasoning at the Uwajimaya store in Seattle and it made the best fried rice I had ever eaten. After scraping the last bits from the side of the jar, I didn't want to make the hour drive just for more (although it was tempting), so I improvised based on the ingredients. If you can find it, I highly suggest buying the pre-made product as it makes preparation very simple. After eating Indonesian fried rice I haven't been able to go back to making the more popular Chinese version. What makes this different than Chinese rice is the prominence of chili rather than soy sauce. Shallots, smaller and milder than the onion, are a pleasant addition. I like to add a lot of chili and use fish sauce as the source of saltiness. Many recipes call for shrimp paste, I haven't tried it and think it's just fine without since the fish sauce adds a seafood taste. There are other posted recipes for this dish, but this one is simpler and the eggs can be cooked right in with the rice. This is also great as a vegetarian (even vegan) dish, just omit the shrimp and use fried tofu instead of egg and use soy instead of fish sauce. Warning: this may be spicy for those with more delicate palates. -- posted by Yamakawa

Sayur Taucho

Wed, 06 Apr 2005 16:56:44 -0400

(Simular to obloh-obloh.) This vegetarian dish is full of flavour and does not need an additional side dish. But if you are a meat buff, then deep-fried chicken should make your diner complete. During colonial-Dutch reign, the Indonesian kitchen was influenced by Chinese merchant settlers who brought the black soy bean to the Indonesia. That was Fusion cooking in the bud. I don't know of many dishes with taocho-beans, accept from Java-island. It is helpful to know that the taste of green chilies and pete beans is key to this dish. Pronounciation: patai beans and timpai The taucho beans are salty enough, no need to add extra salt! -- posted by Pomona Moon

Created for my crock pot and very easy to make! Indonesian food is very much part of the Dutch cuisine and food culture and goes back to colonial days, it is very popular in The Netherlands. This is good when just made but even better the day after or after freezing. Add as many chilies or sambal to bring it up to your own desired spiciness. If you cannot get lime leaves sub with some lime zest, it's not the same but it's the best substitute. -- posted by Pets'R'us

Nassi Goreng

Wed, 06 Sep 2006 19:20:46 -0400

(Sometimes spelled Nasi.) My understanding is that this is simply Indonesian for fried rice, so of course there are actually many versions. This is a Dutch version I've had for ages. Chicken can be substituted for the pork. For the baby shrimp, you can use salad shrimp from the fish counter at the grocery store--just don't leave on heat very long, since it's already cooked. Cooking time assumes starting with already cooked rice; cooking time isn't really "passive" since you have to keep an eye on it and stir a lot. You can substitute cooked Asian noodles for the rice and you'll have Bahmi Goreng. -- posted by echo echo

Fried Chicken (Ayam Goreng) - Indonesian Style

Thu, 26 Oct 2006 22:03:14 -0400

I love my chicken and I especially love the different ways the Indonesians cook it. When I was over there last time I asked for the recipe. Bear in mind they get the spices from the market and use a mortar & pestle to crush them, but I just use store bought and crushed! - I cook the chicken in a frypan with olive oil to seal the seasoned chicken and then pop it in the oven for about 20 - 30 minutes (depending on the thickness) to cook it through. However the quicker option would be to deep fry it (if you can afford the calories!!!). Chicken done this way is great served with Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice). I hope you enjoy. -- posted by ozzygirl

Easy Indonesian Chicken

Thu, 18 Jan 2007 16:11:01 -0500

Wanted to keep this recipe a secret! But what the heck -- I enjoy Zaar so much, why be miserly?? Years ago I cut the recipe from a newspaper food column, and it hides, yellowed, in an old recipe scrapbook. I make it every now and then and I guarantee that it's a quick, easy, gourmet meal! The original recipe specified rice vinegar, but I use balsamic. EDITED ON JAN 8, 2010: Although I posted the recipe as I use it, it seems the 1 cup water specified caused problems for some cooks, so I've lessened the amount. If you use only 1/2 cup as below, do keep a close eye on the reducing sauce in case it thickens too much. And please -- DO taste the sauce before removing from the heat. Some people like it with more hot pepper, and some may want to tweak the other ingredients. Chicken breast is a little too dry for this recipe, so I stand by the point that thighs, even with skin, are the better option. -- posted by Zurie

Spicy Indonesian Pork Satay (Or Chicken)

Fri, 09 Mar 2007 15:06:53 -0500

One teaspoon of dried red pepper flakes with give you a mild heat flavor for more spice then increase the pepper flakes. Plan ahead the pork needs to marinade 8-24 hours. Make certain to soak the wooden skewers a minimum of 30 minutes before threading and grilling. Serve with favorite dipping sauce or you can use whatever leftover marinade that you have after basting the satay as a dipping sauce if desired. Make certain to use only low-sodium soy sauce for this recipe, also if you are using peanuts in place of peanut butter they must be unsalted. The recipe may be doubled but divided into two separate recipes and the pork marinated in two separate bowls. This will work well on on an indoor grill or oven broiler heat.

Grilled Tandoori Chicken Pieces

Thu, 03 May 2007 20:14:59 -0400

Tandoori Chicken is a chicken dish dating back to the time of the Mughal Empire in Southern Asia; it is still popular throughout that area, as well as Central Asia. The chicken is marinated in a yogurt seasoned with garam masala - garlic, ginger, cumin, cayenne pepper, and other spices depending on the recipe. It is traditionally moderately hot, but the heat is toned down to a "mild" taste level in most Western nations. Cayenne, red chili powder, or other spices give it its red colour. Turmeric produces a yellow-orange colour. In some modern versions red and yellow food colouring is used instead. It is traditionally cooked at high temperatures in an earthen oven (i.e. tandoor), but can also be prepared on a traditional grill. You can use any cuts of chicken you like. ALLOW to marinate overnight! PLEASE adjust cooking time for smaller pieces. Wonderful with aromatic rice. -- posted by mama's kitchen

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 22:34:38 -0500

This distinctive and tasty authentic curry relies heavily on the special blend of spices, known as Cape Malay curry powder. Cape Malay curries are famous for their fruity and full-bodied flavours, making good use of local colourful vegetables or meat and fish, they are not as hot as the curries used in the Indian kitchen. This "secret" recipe hails from one of the steamy kitchens in the vibrant Bo-Kaap area of Cape Town; it was on a recipe sheet given to my mum from a spice shop in that wonderful area, in the 1950's. The Bo-Kaap area is a treat; the houses are painted gorgeous bright colours that won't fail to make you smile, there are always children playing in the streets and the haunting call of the muezzin will remind you of exotic destinations such as Istanbul and Cairo. And then there's the smell of spices that wafts through open doorways and comes rushing out at you as you walk past Atlas Trading, the local spice emporium. You might be just minutes from the centre of elegant and sophisticated Cape Town, but you'll feel as though you're in a different country. Serve this curry with yellow rice and a variety of sambals and atjars. -- posted by French Tart

Boh Pik Dipemp (Aceh Ridged Gourd With Coconut)

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:47:35 -0400

Out in the village near Bireuen in Aceh, Indonesia, this is one of my favorite recipies the my neighbour taught me. It is also nice to use this 'pemp' spice paste with a medly of green eggplants and pea-eggplants. Spices in Aceh are ground on a flat grind stone, which achieves a very finely ground paste. Using a mortar and pestle, or a blender will have a less refined paste. -- posted by Atjehfire

Kuah Titchrah (Aceh Piquant Spicy Liquid Fish 'curry' Dish)

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 02:20:58 -0400

In Aceh, (on the island of Sumatera) steaks of the fish "bandeng" or "tongkol" can be used, but any white-flesh fish is fine, or if you are vegetarian, you can just use one and a half cups of eggplants. Traditionallly dish is soured by the use of sundried salted "bilimbing", (a type of small sour Starfruit) but it's easier to find tamarind pulp elsewhere in the world. -- posted by Atjehfire

Boiled Shrimp and Pork Dumplings

Tue, 13 May 2008 15:05:31 -0400

A couple of weeks ago I went to a market and saw some dumplings in one of the stalls. I wanted to buy some but they were so expensive, so I decided I'd just make them myself. The preparation - filling and shaping the dumplings - does take time, but I think it is worth the result. -- posted by j.sugiarto

Tofu Omelet Indonesia

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:53:04 -0400

From the Southeast Asia Cookbook. The program won't allow "fried shallot flakes" as an ingredient, so I had to phrase it "shallot flakes, fried." You can find fried shallot flakes in Asian markets, usually with either the vegebles or the spices and seasonings. -- posted by fluffernutter

Indonesian Beef Rendang (Rendang Sapi)

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:36:55 -0500

Rendang Sapi is one of the most popular dishes from Padang, West Sumatra. Padang is known by their delicious meals made from coconut milk. You can make it spicy or mild, depend how you like it.I like it because the taste is really strong and aromatic. However, it takes a bit longer time to cook so that the beef will be soft and tender. But it is definately worth to try =^_^= -- posted by IndoFoody

Slow Cooker Curry Chicken

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 17:36:29 -0400

I couldn't find a satisfying slow cooker recipe for curry chicken, so I decided to create my own, combining the best parts of several recipes. The ingredients noted as optional can be added if you like an extra kick. I used a 6.5-quart Crock Pot for this meal, but it should fit in a 5-quart just fine. -- posted by Matt & Mollee

Javanese Fried Chicken

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 17:40:08 -0400

This is a traditional Indonesian recipe for fried chicken, but I have made it a bit healthier - it still tastes good but I have substituted the frying for grilling and steaming the chicken first instead of simmering in coconut milk. I use drumsticks but you could use chicken thighs (with bone) or traditionally a whole chicken disected into small pieces. You do need to leave the skin on the chicken or it won't crisp up when grilled. If you can find fresh tumeric root use about 1 cm piece, it has a more intense flavour -- posted by Coasty
