Deserving a break and a solid meal of fried rice? Prepare nasi kari or curry fried rice. Typical of the Dutch nasi is that many meat leftovers are mixed in. Something like this I did too, but without meat...
The nasi kari is prepared from my home made curry that was prepared for the noodles, white rice and a residual of the dish prepaired the previous day: Orak arik. And what was the outcome? Amazingly tasty, I thought. Well, try it yourself.
