Indonesian chicken soup
When preparing cabbage, make sure you remove all the hard core and thick veins. Sambal oelek is a Malaysian/Indonesian chilli sauce and kecap manis is an Indonesian sweet soy sauce. You’ll find both in the Asian section of the supermarket or at Asian food stores. Note
Nasi goreng
You will need about 2 cups (400g) uncooked jasmine rice for this recipe. The rice is best cooked the day before you want to cook the nasi goreng – spread it in a thin layer on a tray, cover and refrigerate overnight. Note
Stir-fried sweet chilli squid
