Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice)

My first introduction to Nasi Goreng was at Odette’s home. This Indonesion fried rice is an everyday dish often made with ham. What makes it so delicious is Kecap or ketjap which is the sweet soy sauce used in her recipe. Later I found this recipe in a Johnson and Wales newsletter. The recipe called for soy sauce but I substituted the sweet soy sauce. After you try this recipe, you will not want to go back to using soy sauce. Enjoy!

    Thai Green Curry Chicken

    Green Curry Chicken is one of my favorites but the green curry paste I used came from an Asian shop and the container was so big I could not use it all before it expired. Of course being an American, I could not tolerate the hotness of the green curry, so I used about half. Then I discover Savory Spices and learned they had a dry green curry that can be made into a paste. This great recipe came from the test kitchen and I modified it to suit my tastes. The recipe goes back into my cooking rotation for my family to enjoy. I hope you do too!

      Oven Roasted Zucchini

      I am not a big fan of squash cooked in water. I prefer a drier, less watery dish. Oven roast does the trick for me plus it is easy and fast. There is no recipe. Just cut up squash on a cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and ground pepper then toss. Sometimes I add a pinch of crushed red pepper. Bake in a 350 F oven until tender crisp. Sometimes I sprinkle with Parmesan when done. Yellow squash or patty pan squash and be used instead or combined. Enjoy!

        David’s Hot and Spicy Smoked Chicken Wings

        After seeing my brother, David, demonstrate his barbecue spice at a local grocery store, I couldn’t resist smoking these bad boys. We used Hot and Spicy BBQ Seasoning, but they were not too hot and tasted as good as they look.

        David’s Seasoning can be purchased at HEB or Brookshire Brothers

        We used our Green Mountain Pellet Grill to cook David’s Hot and Spicy Chicken Wings. We had looked at pellet grills for years but the price was out of our range. When we found this Green Mountain Grill we were pleasantly surprised at the price and the mobility of the size. We don’t use any other grill outside and if you are a techie, you will love the wifi settings and controls. We have the Davy Crockett model but there are two large models for larger families.
