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…
dont know how exciting vietnamese food will be….I’ll wait for the south american cuisine—plantains in everything!
