Nasi Goreng / Indonesian Fried Rice

One day I walked into our home church kitchen with this wonderful tantalizing aroma to find our pastor and family eating their supper before the kids club began. It not only smelled wonderful, it looked interesting, and I always like to try something new. It was an Indonesian fried rice, with lots of condiments, of course I asked for the recipe.

• 2 cups of cooked rice (we like brown)
• 1 lb. ground pork or any pork chopped into small pieces, ( I used tenderloin)
• 1 onion chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 teaspoon of Sambal chili paste (more if you dare)
• 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
• 4 tablespoon of Ketjap, which is a Indonesian soy sauce, can use regular if you can't find it, however it is easily found in the asian section of a large grocery store chain. If you live in Winnipeg, the Bake Oven carries it.

1. Brown the pork with the onion and garlic, cook until pork is well browned and cooked through.
2. Add the remaining ingredients. Stir in the cooked rice.
3. Serve with any or all of the following condiments. My favorite is always a fried egg, easy over, on top of the rice.

Condiments:

• Peanuts
• Raisins/Craisons
• diced cucumber
• diced tomatoes
• chutney
• diced peaches
• more hot sauce if you can take the heat
