Cooking in Bali…or Not

September 6, 2012 by Beth Meyer

One of my main goals for this trip was to take a cooking class in every country. I thought I’d fail in New Zealand and it turned out so well. I thought I’d fail in Australia and it ended up working out at the end. And then, the country where they advertise cooking classes ALL over the place, I didn’t take one. Things just seemed to get in the way (yoga, massages, scuba school…) and it never panned out. Oh well. On my last night, I was talking to a local Balinese man, Adi, who gave me his family recipe for nasi goreng (which he wrote down for me…typed as he penned):

How to make a nasi goring is you have to prepare some stuff like

  • steam rice
  • sweet soy sauce
  • vegetables (cabbage, bean sprouts, carrot)
  • salt & pepper
  • minched of garlic (mashed garlic)
  • tomato sauce
  • chicken or pork satay as a accompaniment
  • pickles

Peanut sauce for satay – grilled peanuts, mash and put in water with a little brown sugar and sweet soy sauce

Here is another recipe for Nasi Goreng from food.com.

I know this isn’t insight from a class, but whatever. Ha! Just trying to keep the dream alive…
