Steps

Finely pound the fennel and coriander seeds. Then process the yellow onion, lemongrass and ginger until you have a fine paste. Then mix in the pounded fennel, coriander, turmeric powder, cane sugar, and peanut oil. Mix well and marinate the chicken for at least 6 hours or overnight in the fridge.

Prepare the charcoal fire for direct heat cooking.

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto each skewer. Grill the satay and baste with more oil until they are cooked. Serve warm with some satay sauce, onions, cucumbers and compressed rice.

Steps

Combine the meat with toasted coconut, shallot, garlic, ginger, galangal, red chilies, coriander, Gula Jawa, lime leaf, coconut milk, and sea salt. Mix until well combine and marinated for about 3 to 4 hours, or overnight in the fridge.

Prepare the charcoal for direct cooking on medium heat.

Gather some minced meat and shape around the lemongrass stalk and press firmly. You can shape around the metal skewers too. Continue the process with the remainder lemongrass stalks and minced meat.

Place the shape minced meat on the grill and grill over the charcoal for a few minutes, and baste with some peanut oil. Turn over and grill until lightly charred on the outside and continue to baste the minced meat with some oil. Remove and serve with some cucumber slices, lontong rice, and satay sauce.

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
2. In a hot wok, add a couple tablespoons of oil. When it starts to smoke, add the garlic and shallot and fry for about 30 seconds. Add the rice and continue to cook, breaking up the clumps with your spatula. Cook for a minute or 2, before adding the sauce.
3. Once you add the sauce, continue to mix everything until the sauce is well distributed. At this point you can add your vegetables and meat (totally optional) and cook until they’re done.
4. Top with fresh chopped green onion or cilantro and squeeze some fresh lime juice over top just before serving.
5. Also, dont forget to top your nasi goreng with a sunny side up fried egg. There’s nothing like digging into that first bite with that lovely runny yolk. Enjoy!
