Indonesian Nasi Goreng & Cucumber Salad - Vegan/Vegetarian
Indonesian Nasi Goreng & Cucumber Salad - Vegan/Vegetarian
Nasi Goreng is a popular dish from Indonesia. It means “fried rice” and it does include some vegetables too. Although it is traditionally served for breakfast, this versatile rice dish can be eaten for lunch or dinner. We have the option of making this dish with quinoa instead of rice.
We will also be making a cucumber salad as an accompaniment to Nasi Goreng.
Note: We will chop all vegetables in class. However, there’s some prep work required. Please see instructions below.
This class is limited to 8 people for an intimate experience.

Prepping the rice the night before class
· Boil 1 cup water. Add ½ cup washed Basmati rice. Cook until almost done. Rinse in cold water. Drain water completely (let it sit in the strainer so there’s no water left). Refrigerate the rice. The rice should not be mushy.
· If using quinoa, cook and refrigerate the night before. The quinoa should not be mushy.
