Nasi Goreng

This is a traditional Indonesian rice dish, which is served for breakfast. It is similar to the Chinese fried rice, but with the addition of a Nasi Goreng paste (obviously). this is a spicy paste made with chilli and garlic. You can make your own and there are loads of recipes available on the Internet, but I bought mine from my my local Thai shop. Cooked rice is fried with the paste and vegetables. I also added chicken, but this is not authentic, but can make it into a more substantial meal. Traditionally it is topped with a fried egg and crispy fried onions, as seen in the picture. Having never been to Indonesia, I can't comment on the authenticity of the dish, but I can categorically state that it is delicious. I often find fried rice to be a bit bland but this is really nice without being too spicy. The paste I used is this one:

 Unfortunately, there are no instructions on the jar, so it's simply a case of trial and error, but simply fried with some cooked rice will also make a tasty quick dinner.
