Daily Dine: Nasi Goreng

I’ve been slacking pretty badly on my daily dines. Don’t worry, Mom and Dad, that doesn’t mean I’m not eating. I’m very happily dining daily.

Nasi Goreng (fried rice) is a staple of Indonesian diets and I are fortunate to have a food stall near by our house with cute guys serving up perfect nasi goreng along with fresh squeeze orange juice. yum yum yum. Last week, Amy made nasi goreng for our buddies at the coconut stand, and they said it was good, just not salty enough. Salt is a well used ingredient here.

This is fried rice with lamb and it was wonderful! The patties at the 6:00 are called ‘tempeh’. They are pan-friend soybean patties that are served with most dishes as a side. Sometimes, instead of a patty, they are in chunks. No matter their form, they are always crunchy, spicy, sweet, and delicious!
