Nasi Goreng

Brian Holley's Note:

This rice dish is very popular in the bars and cafes in Asia. I used to eat this often when I lived in Singapore. Add any leftover meat and vegetables to the rice add a few eggs, dinners ready. Can be eaten hot or cold. I eat it cold and serve with prawns or pork.
