Indonesian Nasi Goreng
Indonesia's iconic fried rice — flavoured with kecap manis sweet soy, shrimp paste and chilli, topped with a fried egg and crispy shallots.
Nasi goreng, rendang, satay – os sabores de 17.000 ilhas.
A culinária indonésia abrange 17.000 ilhas e centenas de tradições étnicas, unificadas pelo arroz, pelo chili sambal e pelo comércio de especiarias que outrora fez das Ilhas Maluku - as Ilhas das Especiarias originais - a única fonte mundial de noz-moscada e cravo. Comerciantes indianos, árabes, chineses e holandeses deixaram marcas: caril e espetos satay, pratos de macarrão como o bakmi e híbridos da era colonial, como o rijsttafel. O condimento que define o país é o sambal, pasta de pimenta moída com centenas de variações regionais, preparada na hora em um pilão de pedra cobek.
Os estilos regionais divergem acentuadamente. O povo Minangkabau de Sumatra Ocidental criou o rendang - carne cozida lentamente em leite de coco e pasta de especiarias até que o líquido se reduza a uma camada escura e seca - e a tradição do restaurante nasi padang. Java cozinha mais doce, usando açúcar de palma e kecap manis (molho de soja doce) em pratos como guisado de jaca gudeg e nasi goreng. Bali, em grande parte hindu, assa leitão babi guling com pasta de especiarias basa genep, enquanto Sulawesi e Maluku se apoiam em peixe grelhado e sagu.
A comida caseira começa com bumbu, a pasta de temperos moída de cebolinha, alho, pimenta, nozes, açafrão e galanga que é salteada até ficar perfumada antes de qualquer outra coisa entrar na panela. Arroz frito (nasi goreng) e macarrão frito (mie goreng) transformam as sobras em refeições, fortificadas com kecap manis e cobertas com ovo frito. Tempeh e tofu, ambos com profundas raízes javanesas, fornecem proteínas diárias, e biscoitos krupuk acrescentam crocância obrigatória.
Sambal
Pastas de pimentão moídas na hora – sambal oelek, sambal terasi com pasta de camarão, sambal matah – aparecem em todas as refeições em variações regionais.
Pastas de especiarias Bumbu
Bases moídas de cebolinha, alho, nozes, açafrão e galanga são fritas até ficarem perfumadas como o primeiro passo da maioria dos pratos.
Cozinhar com leite de coco
Santen enriquece rendang, opor ayam e inúmeros refogados, muitas vezes cozidos até que o óleo se parta e frite os temperos.
Kecap Manis
O molho de soja adoçado com açúcar de palma dá aos esmaltes nasi goreng, mie goreng e satay sua doçura escura característica.
Satay e grelhados
Carnes no espeto no carvão com amendoim ou molho doce de soja existem em centenas de formas regionais, de frango a cabra.
Tempeh e Tofu
O tempeh de soja fermentado, uma invenção javanesa, e o tofu são fritos, refogados e curry como proteína diária acessível.

A comida indonésia é conhecida pelo rendang, arroz frito nasi goreng, espetos satay com molho de amendoim e pastas de pimenta sambal. Seu perfil de sabor combina leite de coco, molho de soja doce (kecap manis), pasta de camarão e pastas de especiarias frescas de cebolinha, galanga e açafrão. Tal como as históricas Ilhas das Especiarias, a Indonésia moldou o comércio global de noz-moscada e cravinho.
Eles se sobrepõem fortemente – rendang, satay e sambal existem em ambos – refletindo raízes malaias compartilhadas. A culinária indonésia, especialmente a javanesa, é mais doce devido ao kecap manis e ao açúcar de palma, e apresenta o tempeh com destaque. A comida malaia mostra uma integração mais forte da Índia e da China (variedades roti canai, laksa) devido à sua distinta história de migração. Muitos pratos diferem mais por região do que por país.
Freqüentemente, mas o calor geralmente é servido como acompanhamento, como sambal, em vez de cozido no prato, então você o controla. A comida Padang de Sumatra e a culinária Manado de Sulawesi são confiáveis. A comida javanesa é doce e suave. Uma refeição típica permite que você coloque a quantidade de sambal que desejar sobre o arroz.
Nasi goreng é a porta de entrada: arroz do dia anterior frito com alho, chalota, kecap manis e um ovo frito por cima. Ayam goreng (frango frito apimentado) e salada gado-gado com molho de amendoim seguem facilmente. Satay só precisa de grelha e marinada. Rendang é um projeto de fim de semana – ingredientes simples, mas três horas de redução.
Kecap manis, leite de coco, pasta de camarão (terasi), nozes (ou macadâmias como substituto) e pimenta são os itens distintivos. Adicione cebolinha, alho, galanga, açafrão, capim-limão, açúcar de palma e tamarindo. Os amendoins fazem molhos satay e gado-gado. Arroz de jasmim e biscoitos krupuk completam a mesa do dia a dia.
