BEP'S BARMI GORENG
BARMI-GORENG - A tasty Indonesian dish
This is a recipe that my mother, Bep, has perfected. I have
no idea where the recipe originated from but it is a great
dish that she has perfected over the years. The leftovers
are great next day, hot or cold.
INGREDIENTS (serves 4)
4 oz boemboe nasi goreng (dehydrated vegetables and
spices)
1/4 tsp sambal oedang kering (pepper condiment)
2 tsp ketjap benteng manis (sweet soy sauce)
1/4 tsp sambal oelek, (hot pepper condiment)
1 lb peeled tomatoes
1/2 lb Chinese noodles
1 lb mince beef
1/4 lb middle bacon
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 medium onion
PROCEDURE
(1) Soak the boemboe nasi goreng in hot water.
(2) Dice and brown the onion, whilst boiling the noo-
dles in another container.
(3) Add mince and diced bacon to cooked onions, and
brown.
(4) To soaked the boemboe nasi goreng add tomatoes,
sambal oedang kering, sambal oelek and ketjak ben-
teng manis; mix well. More spices can be added to
taste.
(5) Drain the noodles.
(6) Add tomato paste and Chinese noodles to cooked
mince. Mix together.
(7) Bring to even heat and serve.
NOTES
Editor's note: this recipe is unique in the history of
alt.gourmand in that virtually none of the ingredients is
available in an ordinary North American grocery store. How-
ever, with a certain amount of difficulty I was able to find
all of the ingredients in specialty food stores nearby
(though admittedly I live in a wonderland of ethnic grocery
stores and specialty markets.) The recipe is so delicious
that it's worth including even though most readers will not
be able to find the ingredients to make it. North Americans
can read "ground beef" for "mince beef" and "bacon" for
"middle bacon". You can make an interesting substitute for
this dish by using Mexican seasonings instead of Indonesian;
the flavor will not be at all authentic but some of the
spirit is preserved.
RATING
Difficulty: easy. Time: 30 minutes. Precision: approximate
measurement OK
