Just been asked to add this one to the thread. It is really easy and you can adapt it to use up what you have in stock. If you prefer you can use fresh chilli or none at all!:D Nasi Goreng was a favourite of mine while growing up in Singapore.


Nasi Goreng (Malaysian fried rice)

100g/4oz onion, skinned and chopped
1 clove garlic, skinned and crushed
50g/2oz butter
225g/8oz long grain rice
2.5ml/1/2 level teaspoon ground coriander
2.5ml/1/2 teaspoon chilli seasoning
5 ml/1 level teaspoon curry powder
15 ml/1 tablespoon soy sauce
450g/1lb cooked pork (diced) – could use ham
A handful of cooked shrimps or prawns
225g/1/2lb frozen peas, freshly cooked
1 egg
30ml/2 tablespoons water
salt and pepper
Mango chutney
Tomato wedges

Fry the onion and garlic in the butter until soft. Meanwhile boil the rice until cooked but still firm. Drain and rinse with cold water.

Stir the spices and soy sauce into the onion. Cook for 1 – 2 mins.

Stir in the meat and fish and heat thoroughly.

Add the cooked rice, blending all the ingredients.

When the meat and rice are thoroughly heated, add the peas.

Break the egg into a bowl, whisk lightly, add 30ml water and salt and pepper.

Lightly grease the base of a frying pan and pour in the omelette mixture. When set, turn it out on to a warm greased baking sheet, (I just use a chopping board) and cut into strips.

Turn the Nasi Goreng into a serving dish and decorate the top with a lattice of omelette. Garnish with tomato wedges. Serve with mango chutney.

This is an amazingly simple recipe for a fruit cake. If you add a bit of extra fruit, some cherries and use dark brown sugar (& maybe stout such as Guinness instead of juice :cheesy:), you would have the makings of a cheap christmas cake... :xmastree: This recipe could also be easily adapted for gluten free flour if you add a little extra liquid.

I've costed this using free range eggs and value mixed fruit, and it comes to around £1.80 for the ingredients for a reasonable size cake, this is at Tesco prices.

Boiling the fruit softens it and makes the cake moist, plus you don't have any tedious creaming of the butter and sugar to do.

Enjoy!

Boiled Fruit Cake

2 cups (225g) mixed fruit
150g butter
½ cup (55g) soft brown sugar
1 tspn mixed spice
1 cup (235ml) orange juice
2 eggs
1 ¾ cups (200g) plain flour
3 tspn baking powder

A cup holds 235ml, and can be used for wet or dry ingredients (measure out the dry ones first!).

Boil fruit, butter, sugar, juice & spice in a large saucepan for 4 minutes, stirring all the time. Leave to cool. Beat in eggs, flour & baking powder. Put into lined 8 inch square tin & bake for 1 – 1½ hours at 150°C (until a skewer poked into the middle comes out clean). Cool in tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto rack.

Thanks for this, Mermaid; I used to have a similar recipe which has been lost during various house movesover the years, so I'm really glad you've posted this one!

Due to folk on another thread wanting these recipes off me, I have been 'encouraged' to post them on here. These are all recipes I have been bought up with in New Zealand and have unwittingly introduced to people Ive met here in the UK I hope if you make them, that you enjoy them. If Ive not made something clear, please please ask me what I meant lol.....enjoy anyway and thanks to the folk on the CBB thread for your encouragement :beer:


Mars Bar Slice

2 oz butter
3 mars bars
3 oz Rice Crispies
Block of chocolate - big size

Chop the mars bars into small peices and add to the butter and melt. Add melted mixture to the rice crispies and mix well. Put into a baking tray that is about 1 or 2 cm deep and smooth out so evenly distributed. Put the tray into the fridge for abit to set. When cool, melt the block of chocolate and spread over the top of the cooled mixtured. Leave till almost set and then slice. Let to set properly. Keep in an airtight container and enjoy :beer:


Uncooked Condensed Milk Salad Dressing

397g sweetened condensed milk
1 cup malt vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons dry mustard powder.

Mix all ingrediants together until combined. Leave to stand for 5 or 10 minutes to settle and thicken. Makes about 2 cups. Keep in a jar or covered dish in the fridge. Is yummy with fish finger sarnies, put with mashed up boiled eggs for sandwiches. I like it with my boiled potatoes and also makes nice potato salad dressing. Use as you would any salad dressing I guess.
