Fried Rice
Fried
rice is a favorite amongst the Balinese.
Its main ingredient is white rice, mixed
with various spices. The spices include
garlic, shallots, large onions, large red
chilies, tomatoes or chili sauce, pepper,
prei, ketchup, salt, egg and
chopped meat (usually chicken, pork or beef),
or sea fish (for example shrimps). Although
there is a basic recipe for fried rice,
depending on the chef or the restaurant,
the end product will have its own variations
and secrets. Photo (above) shows fried rice
prepared by Sanurs Wayang Café
complete with garnishing and pickles.
