Selamat malam, Raffies!
Did you have a nice Saturday? Here in the Netherlands it was finally sunny and warm. I enjoyed my afternoon getting my season pass for swimming and enjoying the sun in the garden.
Today it's time to go to Indonesia! We are making the dish of my childhood. As my mom used to live in Indonesia, I grew up eating quite a lot of Indonesian cuisine. Mie goreng used to be my favourite dish as a kid.
Mie goreng, also known as Mee goreng in Malay, is a common dish not only in Indonesia, but also in Malaysia and Singapore. You can eat this at any time of the day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. Traditionally, it used to be a dish which used leftovers. The difference between nasi and bami goreng is that nasi goreng is made with rice. The word "nasi" actually means rice, while "mie" means noodle and "goreng"means "fried".
If you want to try this dish out, a nice recipe that resembles the one I grew up with is the one you can find in "The Food of Indonesia" by Tuttle Publishing.
In my collection of recipe books, "Best-Ever Cooking of Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia & The Philippines" by Hermes House is a great introduction into the marvellous cuisine of Indonesia & Co.
Salamat Makan!
Love,
Raffi
