Okaay..how do you perpare rice for fried rice (like picture No. 2) and what type of rice does one use for this? I tried to cook this stuff but it always comes out in one huge lump of rice or its soggy...wave
@ru..any regular rice will do....just dont put too much water into it....we use our hand to measure the water...the water level shud be along the 2nd line of ur middle finger above the rice....i hope it helps tho.... uh oh
Citra, I am sorry I have to laugh on "Indonesian people can't live without rice"laugh It reminded me few years ago when someone was dragging me to Asian resto because he thought I'd be dead for not eating steamed rice in 2 weeksrolling on the floor laughing

In this world you have 2 kind of culture that eat rice AND Potato ,one is the Asian and the other is the European whom eat every day potato,i didn't mentioned other continents ,they too are divided with this,its the environment and the ground that force the people to live and eat this kind of food,anyway its a very healthy to heat both of them,i eat rice only in lunch time 3 times a week .I like Indonesian food its delicious and spicy smitten cartwheel love
There is a Chinese take away in my vicinity, where I buy their fried rice & it is excellent; stir fried with either egg, prawn, or small pieces of fried chicken or all three!
