Bami Goreng or Nasi Goreng?

doom&gloom · 20-01-2012, 23:44

Here's a question for the modern age.

Which of these two do you prefer?

Gotta say for me it's Bami all the way, the Nasi is too dry (are you supposed to add a sauce or something?).

Prefer the frozen Lidl stuff with the big pieces of meat to the Aldi fresh stuff with the little cubes of meat as well.

Always Bami Goreng for me. I usually make it myself.
With satay, atjar tampoer or ketimoen and krupuk on the side.
Never bought it from a supermarket. That stuff doesn't come close to a good Bami Goreng. Occasionally I get some from a good Chinese-Indonesian restaurant.

Nasi Goreng can be a bit dry. You can use Atjar Tjampoer and a sateh sauce to "moisten" it up. Also in The Netherlands we often mix in some kecap.

Not many Chinese-Indonesian restaurants around here (they tend to do Chinese and Thai food) so we have to have the supermarket stuff.

Nasi goreng or Bami goreng. They are Indonesian spice pastes/sauces.
My local Morrisons has started stocking them in the world food isle between the Chinese and Indian sections.

Nasi goreng means fried rice and Bami goreng means fried noodles

Used spices vary from region to region, family to family.

We make Nasi Goring by stir frying a selection of vegetables, always including beansprouts, with prawns or other meat, adding korma curry paste, sweet chilli sauce and soy sauce then stirring in cooked rice, and serving with a fried egg on top.

How do you make your bami Goring?

With noodles.
Depending on what veg and meat I have in the house.
I made some last week.
Chicken which I marinated in soy sauce, chilli preserve(homemade), grated ginger, fish sauce, garlic, star anise, my very dark homemade plum chutney which I find an excelent addition for this. Probably forgot a couple of ingredients

I added leeks, sliced at an angle, carrots, onions, peppers....oh and I had some garden peas in the freezer which I added

Wokked everything and added cooked noodles, a splash of this and that ... and I also served it with a fried (home laid) egg on top and a sprinkle of coriander leaves.

Tried the Nasi Goreng (Go Tan brand from Morrisons). Actually had it with noodles (break the system!!!)

Smells/tastes like black bean sauce with a few other things in. It was a bit salty/bitter but works well with some hot & sweet chilli sauce added.
