Dutch Style Indonesian Fried Rice
Ingredients
- cooked rice for 4
- chicken breast (boneless) or fillet of pork for 4
- 1 medium leek, cut in small rings
- a good handful of beansprouts, washed
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoon sambal ulek
- soy sauce to taste
- trassi
- vetsin
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
- fresh ginger, about 1 teaspoon finely chopped
Instructions
Serves 4. Chop meat in a-little-smaller-than-bite-sized pieces. Heat (sunflower)oil in heavy frying pan. Put in ginger and garlic until the oil starts to smell nice. Fry a small piece (1/2 teaspoon) of trassi, crush it into small lumps before putting it in the hot oil. Optionally, remove ginger, trassi and garlic after this stage. Add meat and fry until done and brown. Add onion and leek, fry for a few minutes. Add sambal and fry. Add egg, add portions of rice before egg sets. The stuff should get sticky-ish. Keep adding and frying parts of the rice until all rice has been fried golden/brownish. Keep stirring very well! Bring to taste with some soy sauce and a little vetsin. Add the beansprouts the last minute to prevent them from getting cooked. Optionally, stir in some finely chopped ham just before serving. Serve with a fried egg, sweet-and-sour veggies, chop suey or other side dish of your choice. Notes: Sambal ulek is a paste made of hot peppers and a little oil. Trassi is a paste made of prawns which are dried and fermented. Vetsin is a flavour-enhancer.
