Nasi Goreng (fried rice)

Check out the related video story: Type 1 Diabetes—Calvin’s War
Calvin is a 10 –year old boy with a deep enthusiasm for life. But every day is a constant battle against an enemy that will not relent; an enemy that requires careful vigilance and treatment; an enemy that science can not—as yet—defeat. Calvin has Type 1 Diabetes: this is Calvin’s War.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2-3 T. sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) or soy sauce
  • 2 T. olive or cooking oil
  • 1 large clove of garlic, minced
  • water, as needed to keep rice from clumping
  • ¼ onion, sliced or chopped (your preference)
  • ¾ cup of assorted vegetables (my favorite: broccoli)
  • ¼ – ½ lb. of cooked meat or seafood (my favorites: shrimp, chicken, and hot dog pieces)
  • a wok

Instructions

  • Plug in the wok, and set to high.
  • Add oil to wok.
  • Put the garlic in with olive oil or cooking oil and let it simmer.
  • Put in raw veggies for a few minutes before adding choice of meat.
  • Turn heat down to medium. (Put in the items that will take the longest to cook first, then add other items so that they will all become fully cooked at the same time)
  • Sauté all items together until about 90% cooked.
  • Then add the rice, sweet soy sauce or soy sauce.
  • Stir with a wooden spoon for about five to seven minutes.

Yield: Makes enough for three to four people. Enjoy!
