Nasi Goreng, recipe follows
Fried Shallots, recipe follows
Peanut oil, for cooking
8 shallots, halved and sliced
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon minced ginger,
1 tablespoon minced lemongrass, white part only
1/4 cup sambal oelek
2 tablespoons naturally brewed soy sauce
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups cooked jasmine or other long grain rice, cold
2 cups cooked Balinese red rice, cold (can substitute jasmine or other long grain rice)
2 Thai bird chiles, minced
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Peanut oil, for frying
1 cup sliced shallots
1/2 cup rice flour
Salt
Preheat a fryer or deep pot of oil to 350 degrees F.

Steps:

  • In a food processor, puree the shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, nuts, shrimp paste, lemongrass, coriander, chile, tomato paste, and tamarind juice and puree until smooth.
  • Prepare a hot skillet coated with the oil. Add the pureed mixture and cook until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, add the kaffir lime leaves, stock, and coconut milk and simmer until the mixture becomes a sauce consistency, about 10 minutes. Remove the kaffir lime leaves and season with the salt and pepper. Just before serving, mix in the blanched vegetables with the sauce and heat thoroughly. Season with salt and pepper and check for flavor.
  • In a large pasta bowl, fill with the rice and top with vegetable curry. Garnish with fried shallots.
  • In a wok on high heat, coated lightly with oil, stir-fry the shallots and garlic until lightly brown, about 2 minutes. Add the ginger, lemongrass, sambal, soy, and eggs and quickly mix. Add the rice, chiles, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, if necessary and check for flavor.
  • Toss the shallots with the flour and fry in a 350 fryer until crispy. Remove from the fryer and drain on paper towels. Season with the salt.

This dish was a disappointment. The curry was bland and the rice was dry.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll try a different one next time.

I followed the recipe exactly but the curry turned out too watery. I think I might have added too much coconut milk.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very flavorful. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili next time.
