Hello Paul,
Nasi Goreng is Indonesian fried rice.
See below for three recipes.
Phaed
Nasi Goreng Istimewa
(special fried rice)
Fried rice is actually a breakfast dish in Indonesia. It is often made from
the boiled rice which may have been left over from the previous night's
meal.
Isinya (ingredients):
4 cups cooled cooked rice
1 clove crushed garlic
1/2 tsp shrimp paste
1 tbsp soya sauce
1 medium onion
1 tsp chilli
2 tbsp oil
salt
Slice the onion lengthwise, heat the oil and fry the onion, garlic, chilli
and shrimp paste until the onion is soft. Add the rice and salt to taste.
Mix thoroughly while constantly turning until every grain is coated. Then
add the soya sauce and mix again until the colour is even throughout.
The rice should have taken on a nice orange-red tinge from the chilli
powder. Cooked meat or prawns can be added with the soya sauce. Onion crisps
(Goreng Bawang) is used as a garnish.
To make it 'istimewa' or special, a lightly fired egg, some cucumber slices
and kerupuk (prawn crakers) are served on top of the rice.
------------------------------
Nasi Goreng
You need:
Crush a clove of Garlic,
Grate about an inch of ginger, and
chop 4 Spring Onions or one small onion.
Make yourself a "Flavour Bomb"
few drops of Sesame Oil,
according to your heat tolerance, about a teaspoon of Sambal Oelek (Hot
Indonesian Chili Sauce,
about a dessert spoon of Fish Sauce,
a teaspoon of Shrimp Paste,
and a good slurp of Sweet Soy Sauce (Kecap Manis). Mix together and set
aside.
Have on Hand about a cup of Bean Shoots, Finely Shredded Asian Greens, or
even Frozen Peas.
Method:
Place a good slurp of Vegetable Oil into a Wok or Large Frypan.
Heat the oil, bung in the garlic, ginger and spring onions, fling them
around for a few seconds, then chuck in the "Flavour Bomb" ...move this
around for a few more seconds, then in goes the cold rice.
Keep lifting around so rice becomes well coated and doesn't stick, then at
the last moment stir through the sprouts so they retain some crunch.
This is PLAIN Nasi Goreng.
For "SPECIAL" fry an egg and bung one on top of each serve.
-------------------------------------------------------
Nasi Goreng
6 teblespoons vegetable oil
6 shallots, peeled, halved lengthwise and sliced
6 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced
200 g (6 1/2 oz) chicken meat, sliced
150 g (5 oz) medium-sized shrimp, peeled
1/4 small white cahhage, shredded
1/2 cup Sambel Tomat
4 eggs, beaten
750 g (1 1/2 lb) cold cooked rice
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon sliced bird's-eye chillies
2 tablespoons fried shallots
Heat vegetable oil in wok or heavy frying pan until very hot. Add shallots
and garlic and fry for I minute until golden yellow. Add chicken and shrimp
and fry for I minute, then add cabbage and fry for I minute. Add Sambel
Tomat and mix well. Add eggs and continuously stir for 30 seconds. Increase
to very high heat, add rice and salt. Fry for 3 more minutes, stirring
continuously. Add chillies, mix well and serve immediately, garnished with
fried shallots.
Helpful hints : The cooked rice must be absolutely cold to make sure it does
not become soggy during frying. It is important to have the heat under your
wok at the absolute maximum when frying the rice.

home. any and all help would be appreciated.
thank you for your time and web site,

Hi Dawn,
The only recipe that I can find is the one below, which claims in the note
at the bottom to be similar to the Cracker Barrel breakfast casserole.

3 c diced cooked ham (optional)
6 Tb butter
6 green onion; chopped

Instructions
Beat together eggs, milk, salt and pepper.
Stir in cheese and ham-if you are using the ham. Heat medium non-stick
skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and green onion or fresh chives.
Saute a few seconds. Pour in egg mixture and immediately reduce heat to
medium-low. As mixture begins to set, gently move spatula across bottom and
sides of skillet to form large, soft curds. Cook until eggs are thickened
and no visible liquid egg remains, but they are still moist.
Makes 4 servings.
Microwave: For one serving, pour one quarter of the mixture into a small
microwaveable bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, venting one corner. Microwave
on MEDIUM-HIGH for about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring several times during

Well, here's a great recipe you can add to your list for BASA - just what I was looking for.
Diana
Crispy Baked Basa
Serves 2
2 Basa Fillets - ours weighed in slightly under 1 pound
White Melba Toast (16 to 20 individual toasts)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 lemon
Olive oil
Salt & Pepper
Olive Oil in a sprayer
Run the melba toast through the food processor or place in a heavy bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Crush to a fairly fine consistency.
Brush sides of the fillets with olive oil, minced garlic, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over them.
Roll in the crushed melba toast to cover completely. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lightly spray
the top side of the fillets with olive oil (if you don't own an olive oil sprayer, it is an inexpensive
investment that every kitchen should not be without - find them at any kitchen wares store)
Place in glass baking dish in an oven preheated to 375 degrees. Bake for approximately 15 minutes,
or until lightly browned on the top. Serve with Remoulade sauce (recipe below).
Remoulade Sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbs French stone ground mustard - Dijon is "ok" but I like the texture the mustard seeds add.
1 tsp capers
1 tsp catsup
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp Tabasco - this is a minimum suggested quantity
Combine ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Hi Martha,
I wish I could help with the sandwiches, but after a thorough search, the
only recipe from Chock Full 'O Nuts that I could find was the date nut bread
recipe below. Sorry. I haven't been able to find their donut recipe, either.
A bit of history:
The only thing we in the South have ever known about Chock Full 'O Nuts is
the coffee, which began to be marketed nationally in 1954. The first time I
bought any of the coffee, it was just to see if it had nuts in it! When it
didn't seem to have any nuts, I wondered why a brand of coffee had such an
odd name.
