Spicy Nasi Goreng Recipe #135857

2006-01-09T15:48:18+01:00

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.

2 onions, sliced

4 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves
2 servings Change size or US/metric

Thai Green Curry

2006-01-03T12:09:45+01:00

Green Curry Paste
6 spring onions, washed and trimmed
4 to 6 medium green chilies, seeded and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, peeled and finely chopped
1 tablespoon coriander seeds, pounded and crushed
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 handful lime leaves, torn
2 lemon grass stalks, trimmed back and finely chopped
2 good handfuls fresh basil on the stalk
3 good handfuls fresh coriander on the stalk
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 limes, zested and juiced
Cut Tofu into large pieces
16 ounces coconut milk
1 handful chopped pistachio nuts

Put all the green curry paste ingredients in a food processor and whizz to a smooth green paste.
Marinate the Tofu in a little of the paste for 30 minutes, then add a little oil and the Tofu pieces
to a hot casserole-type pan or wok. Fry for 4 minutes, then add the remainder of the marinade -
- it will sizzle and spit. Stir in the coconut milk, bring to the boil and simmer gently for 8 minutes
until the Tofu is cooked. Season to taste. The flavor should have a kick but be reasonably mellow -
- very fresh and fragrant.

Sprinkle with the pistachios and some coriander leaves and serve with steamed rice or noodles,
and chunky coconut, tomato, cucumber and lime relish.
