Spicy Nasi Goreng

Mrs B's Note:

Nasi Goreng is an Indonesian dish. It’s easy to do and the variations are endless. To date, there are three other vegetarian versions posted on Zaar; but I’ve checked and this one is different. The recipe is borrowed from the BBC’s Good Food magazine and posted for Zaar World Tour 2005.

I love this recipe. The only thing is for my husband and I this makes a lot more than 2 servings. It was enough for 7-8 plates full. Other than that, everything is exceptional. Thank you for the recipe. P.S. I like to make this with the Sesame Chicken Skillet recipe.
