Nasi Goreng

Side Dishes.
This traditional Indonesian fried rice dish was inspired by a trip to the beaches of Bali.  This version uses heart healthy canola oil and brown rice to boost fibre. Kecap manis is a type of Indonesian sweet soy sauce that resembles molasses.  Look for it in the Asian section of grocery and specialty food stores.
