Nasi Goreng Recipe #93403

This is one of the most popular and well known Indonesian rice dishes. I have tried many versions and I always come back to this one. Chicken can be substituted for the shrimp.

We have such a good one produced for a major supermarket here that I never make this. I'll be

interested to see if you like this one.

The one we buy has noodles in it.

 
Is that the President's Choice? Some of that brand's items were available at Randall's when

I lived in Texas. There was a lemon-filled cookie that was delicious. Also a raspberry-filled one and a lot of bottled Asian flavored sauces. Very good pasta, also. I haven't seen any of the brand in a long time. The nasi goreng was really good. I wasn't sure which curry to use and decided on Penzeys' hot which is an oriental blend. It might have been a bit much, my tongue was tingling, but dh was adding more hot sauce. I would definitely make it again. I had 16-20 count shrimp that I brined and cut in half lengthwise. I served it with a spinach, water chestnut, red pepper and green onion salad with an Asian dressing.

 
Nah, probably just a midwestern twang. I've lived too many places to have much of an accent. My

daughter picked up accents so easily when she was little. She had a third grade teacher with a really deep Texas accent and that year she really had one. She majored in theatre in college and that erased any accent she might've had, although she sure can mimic one when she needs to.

 
Funny. I'll bet we have quite an assortment of them here.

languages have always fascinated me and I think mimicing/mimicking/mimiccing accents is fun.
