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)

  • 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. And today I searched about yau mark tam in the internet and... it is actually romaine lettuce... hahaha... But sauteed romaine lettuce is also delicious. So let's look at the recipe.

Solok Lada

Solok Lada (so-lock la-da) or Stuffed Chili is a side dish along with Nasi Kerabu (Kelantanese Salad Rice). It is also can be eaten along with rice and gulai or curry. It is a dish made from big green chili (usually a type of chili we call solok chili) filled with flavored grated coconut and fish.  The taste of solok is creamy, a bit spicy, salty and sweet. However the spiciness of the chili has been largely reduced because the chili is cooked and the seeds are removed before stuffing in the coconut filling. Usually sardine and mackerel fish are used to make Solok Lada.  Solok Lada is delicious when eaten with Nasi Kerabu which has a mixed flavor from fresh minced vegetables and herbs, spicy coconut sauce (tumis), grated coconut sambal and budu (anchovies sauce). It is also accompanied with sambal air lada (chili sambal), and any meat of choice. Solok is also delicious when eaten with rice and gulai, a curry like gravy which is usually cooked with meat, fish and chicken. T

This is a sandwich I always make when I harvest the Brazilian Spinach at my small container garden in the backyard. It is easy, delicious and nutritious. The toum is a new addition to this sandwich to give more flavor to it.  Ingredients 1 egg 1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup 1 cup spinach (I use Brazilian Spinach) Toum Mayonnaise Margerine or butter 2 slices of bread A pinch of salt White pepper powder Methods Beat the egg in a bowl until egg white and egg yolk mixed.  Add in some salt, milk and white pepper.  Cook on the low heat. Put scrambled egg aside. Spread margarine or butter on one side of the bread. Toast the bread on the pan. Cook the buttered side until golden. Boil the spinach in 1/3 cup of water until tender. You can also add it raw.  Spread some mayonnaise on one of the bread. Spread toum on another bread. Spread scrambled egg on one if the bread, followed by the spinach.  Then put another bread with toum spread on top of it. Enjoy.
