| Baked rice with Anchovies |
Oh My God, I haven't write for this blog for almost one month.
Shame on me.
Actually I had really really tough weeks in April and also in beginning of May.
But it's just second week of May, so I'm not that wrong, am I?
Today after strolling around the first and the only one IKEA in Indonesia.
I promised myself that I have to cook something today and it has to be an Indonesian food.
This morning after I made pancake for my kids, I browsed some recipes.
And Nasi Bakar was my choice.
I picked one food website that had the most simple recipe.
My notes for this recipe:
1. Don't add sugar if you don't like sweet taste
2. You can replace anchovies with chicken or tuna
3. Add some chilli bird eyes to spice up if you like spicy food
4. Whenever you don't find any banana leaf, you can use aluminium foil to wrap
5. Better served with fried chicken, fried eggs, crackers, and fresh vegetables such as cucumber and tomatoes
6. Let's try
