The Indonesian Fried Rice Recipe is one of my favorite fried rice recipes, as it takes me back to the good times I had when I was visiting Indonesia.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of long-grain rice
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 5 shallots, peeled and sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
• 3 red chilies, sliced
• 1 teaspoon dried shrimp paste
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce
• sliced cucumbers (to garnish)
• sliced tomatoes (to garnish)
• 8 ounces sliced chicken or pork
• 1 cup shredded cabbage
  
  

Directions:

1. Boil a medium pot of salted water
2. Stir in the rice and boil for 10 minutes (until done)
3. Drain the rice and set aside to cool
4. Use the egg to make a thin omelet; cool, then shred
5. Heat the remaining oil in the wok and fry the shallots, garlic, chilies and shrimp paste until the shallots are tender
6. Add the meat and the shredded cabbage, cook until meat is cooked through
7. Increase the heat to high and add the rice, salt and soy sauce, adding a little oil if necessary, stirring constantly until heated through
8. Garnish with shredded egg, cucumber, and tomato
