Salted Fish Fried Rice (Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin)

-

Nasi Goreng or fried has become our family's staple dish. It is easy to make and can be an alternative choice for white rice dish. There are many types of nasi goreng such as Nasi Goreng Kampung (Country Fried Rice), Nasi Goreng Cina (Chinese Fried Rice), Nasi Goreng Ikan Masin (Salted Fish Fried Rice), Nasi Goreng Kerabu (Salad Fried Rice), Nasi Goreng Seafood ( Seafood Fried Rice) and many more. The most commonly made nasi goreng at home is only basic fried rice with addition of meat or dried salted fish and also egg. 

Today I will be sharing a recipe of nasi goreng which I made during breakfast for my family. It is nasi goreng ikan masin or salted fish fried rice. This fried rice is really liked by Malaysian as it has variation in its flavor as the fried salted fish is added in it. The salted fish which is usually used is Spanish Mackerel fermented fish in oil. But you can also use any types of salted fish that you like. So lets go to the recipe.

For 4 servings

 Ingredients
  • 5 cup of cooked rice
  • 7 shallots (sliced or pounded into paste)
  • 3 to 7 bird eye chilies (crushed)
  • 5 cloves of garlic (crushed)
  • 7 tablespoon of small chunks of fried salted fish
  • Green vegetables of your choice (mustard, kale, pak choy, long bean and other vegetables can be used)
  • 1 carrot (optional) (diced)
  • 7 baby corns (sliced)
  • 200 gram beef or chicken meat
  • 1 egg
  • Some white pepper powder
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 chicken stock cube
  • 3 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup of cooking oil

Methods
  • Heat the cooking oil in a large pan and fry the salted fish and tear the fish into small chunks. Set aside.
  • By using the same oil used for frying the salted fish, saute the garlic until golden and aromatic. 
  • Then add in shallot and bird eye chilies. Saute until they become aromatic. 
  • Then add in the egg and mix it with other ingredients. Add in white pepper powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Fry until the egg is well cooked. 
  • Then add in the beef or chicken and fry them until well cooked. Add in 1 teaspoon of salt. 
  • After the meat is cooked add in carrot and baby corns. After about 3 minutes add in green vegetables. Add in also oyster sauce and fish sauce. 
  • Add in chicken stock. Mix well.
  • Add in the remaining salt and sugar. 
  • Then add in rice. Mix the rice well with other ingredients. Cook until all the rice particles are not attached to each other and the rice become a little lighter. 
  • Lastly add in the chunks of fried salted fish and mix well. Turn off the heat and serve.

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. Ready in 15 minutes Ingredients 1 head of romaine lettuce or yau mak tam 2 shallots (sliced) 2 cloves garlic (sliced) 1 tablespoon anchovies 1 tablespoon oyster sauce 3 tablespoon cooking oil Some drops of white vinegar Salt to taste Methods Heat cooking oil in a pan.

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.

Spread scrambled egg on one if the bread, followed by the spinach.  Then put another bread with toum spread on top of it. Enjoy.
