Category: Dutch bami or nasi goreng with lumpia and rice dishes from Oversea.
East Indies nasi goreng. Our former Dutch East Indies, the belt of emerald in the Pacific ocean around the equator, is now called Indonesia. A nasi goreng dish is based on stir-fried rice. Boil 400 gram rice in salt water, as you used to do or according to the indications on the packet. Put the content of a packet of (boemboe) nasi goreng spices (from Heinz or Knorr) into 150 milliliter boiling water en let this well at least 10 minutes. Stir-fry 500 gram chicken (pullet) in little pieces in olive oil light brown and put at last a sliced onion with it and stir-fry this till it's also light brown. Add then the nasi spices into the frying pan. Stir 2 raw eggs through it and keep stirring until all small particles have fixed. Add a sliced leek and stir-fry this all maximally 2 minutes. Add at last the cooled rice and warm it fully well. Make the dish on taste with some sambal oelek (1 or 2 teaspoons) and soy sauce (2 tablespoons). Serve with it baked eggs, kroepoek (prawn crackers) and atjar (Indian pickle). Serve also for the spices lovers extra sambal oelek (standard red sambal) or sambal goreng (baked sambal) and Indonesian soy sauce (ketjap) on the table.
Dutch East Indies bami goreng (bakmi). A bami dish is based on stir-fried South Asian or Chinese noodles. Boil the noodles in salt water first before stir-frying. Use for a fast meal ready to use packets from the supermarket for bami meat (cut pork meat) and bami vegetables (cut white cabbage, leek and beansprouts). Each Dutch supermarket has this in the assortment. Stir-fry the fine chopped pork meat in olive oil light brown in about 10 minutes on an hot fire and add the fine sliced vegetables for together stir-frying another 10 minutes. Put a packet of bami spices into 150 milliliter boiling water and let this well at least 10 minutes. Add then the bami spices into the frying pan. Finish meanwhile the bami according to the indications on the packet (usually 10 minutes for cooking). Blend eventually everything to each other and warm it fully well in the frying pan.. Sambal (chillis) and soy sauce following personal taste.

Variation hint. In stead of bami vegetables you can use an half round fine sliced white or green cabbage (30 minutes for cooking). In stead of meat you can serve pieces of ham and pieces of fried chicken. Mix all together and lay fried egg on the top. Also these dishes stay excellent after several days in the refrigerator or deep freeze.
Lumpia or spring roll can be served as entrée or side-dish for a Chinese-Indonesian dish or as a single snack. A loempia consists of a piece of pastry, filled with vegetables, meat and herbs. As vegetables can serve bamboo shoots, white cabbage and/or bean sprouts and as meat usually chicken, ham, omelet pieces and/or shrimps. The loempia as deep-frozen product is also available in the supermarket and can be made by frying or deep-frying in oil.
Baked banana, also known under the name baka bana (West Indies) and pisang goreng (East Indies), is fried banana. Baked banana can be used as entree, dessert or side dish with a rice dish. Special bananas for baking are imported from South America. You can buy them in the better supermarket. Recipes are to find on the internet. Click here for baka bana or for pisang goreng.
Dutch West Indies yardlong beans with rice. Remove the tips of the yardlong beans (long subtropical sort of bean) and stir-fry the beans (cut to pieces) with a sliced onion for 5-10 minutes on high fire in some tablespoons olive oil. Put also a couple of branchlets thinly sliced celery and some soy sauce in the frying pan. Herewith you can use boiled shrimps or boiled meat, baked bacon, ham, chicken, etc. Cook de white rice as you commonly do. Add salt and eventually pepper, garlic or nutmeg after your choice.
White rice with pak-choi (Chinese snow cabbage) and meat (diced). Boil the rice according to the instructions for use on the packaging, and pour off the water. Stir-fry the cubes meat (or chicken) until it is almost ready and add the sliced pak-choi for the last 3 minutes of baking. Mix all for warming up in the frying pan. Add after your taste soy sauce, or finely sliced red pepper (also stir-fried).
White rice with baked liver, bacon and onions. Boil the rice in salt water, as indicated on the package. Personally I add to the boiling water additional bouillon cubes. Keep the fresh liver after purchase direct under water in the refrigerator. Dry and fry the sliced liver with pepper and salt in about 10 minutes brown. Fry also the slices bacon and onions for 5-10 minutes. Divide the fried (10 minutes for frying) or cooked (20 minutes for cooking) liver in cubes and add it the with the other ingredients to the cooked rice.
You can add ready-made mushrooms and Chinese bean sprouts (from a glass pot) to this rice dish. Also you can use small green peas or garden beans as vegetables.
Rice with hachee or goulash (for Dutch recipes see above) is also a good combination. It can be served with red cabbage, apples or apple sauce.
NB. All kinds of rice and bami and just mentioned spices are to find in an eastern Toko (Store) or a quality Supermarket.
