Kampung Fried Rice

-
I did not have cucumber that day so I used bell pepper as garnish. 

Nasi goreng or fried rice is one of my favorite breakfast in the morning. It is delicious, fulfilling and easy to make especially when I have instant nasi perencah or pre-made perencah in the fridge. Perencah is the basic ingredient in nasi goreng which usually made from shallots, garlic and chili. Sometimes it contains shrimp paste or anchovies. 

There are many types of nasi goreng and one of my favorite is nasi goreng kampung. Because I love to eat anchovies. Nasi goreng kampung is a classic nasi goreng which usually contains bird eye chili, anchovies and water spinach in it. Sometimes it is eaten with plain soup. 

So here is my recipe of nasi goreng kampung. 

Ready in 15 minutes 

Ingredients
  • 5 cups cooked rice
  • 7 shallots
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 3 to 7 bird eye chili
  • 1/2 cup anchovies
  • 1 cube anchovy stock
  • 1 tablespoon budu or fish sauce (optional, I added it. Budu is anchovies sauce)

  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1 egg
  • Green leaf vegetables
  • Baby corn
  • 1 green chili
  • Salt

Malay/English I was cooking fish curry when my mom asked me to cook this green vegetable. It was just recently my family eat this vegetable. It looks like lettuce to me. I even imagine to eat it raw in my sandwich. The packaging wrote Yau Mark Tam. Yau mark tam? A vegetable from China I guess. Then I thought I would just sauté it with anchovies.

Lempeng (lamp-eng) or flat pancake is our regular meal for breakfast. It is easy to make, uses simple ingredients and delicious. The ingredients are all purpose flour, egg, salt, margarine and water. It is cooked in a round and flat shape but usually the texture differs according to personal preference. Some people loves it thick and soft. Some other loves it thin and soft. Some loves the surface to be crunchy but soft in the middle. I prefer the third version of lempeng. Lempeng is usually eaten with granulated sugar, condensed milk and syrups. The basic lempeng is plain in flavor, making it suitable to be eaten with condiments. I like it with curry. It is so delicious when eaten together until I usually add one more piece in my plate. =) Ready in 15 to 30 minutes. For 5 servings Ingredients 3 cups all purpose flour 1 egg 1 teaspoon salt 1 to 2 tablespoons margarine Water Methods Mix all the ingredients together except water. It is okay if the marg
