Nasi Goreng

My sister and I were talking recently about an Indonesian restaurant in Toronto that closed down many years ago. I mentioned that I wanted to make Nasi Goreng one of these days so she sent me a link to this recipe. I ended up making it today for lunch since I had a few cups of leftover white rice in the fridge.

I didn't have tamarind so I subbed with a little orange juice, lemon juice and extra sugar. I threw in some chopped up leftover seitan from earlier in the week along with some peas and corn and cooked the tomato in it instead of using it as a garnish. And obviously I didn't use egg!

It was pretty good! I did add in extra soy sauce and some salt too. Next time though I'll only use half the curry called for and try and get tamarind paste.
