Indonesian Meatball Fried Rice

By Fiedha Anindyajati

Rice is Indonesian everyday food. We, Indonesians, eat steamed rice 3 times a day. Usually we eat it with additional savoury side dishes (since there is no taste of rice). To make a different kind of style to eat rice, we fry it and by adding combination of several traditional Indonesian sauces, the taste of this kind of dish is quite good; savoury, a little bit sweet and of course spicy,since we Indonesian love hot and spicy dish. But if you do not like spicy food, you can change the chillies with green bell pepper. The most common Indonesian Fried Rice is Meatball Fried Rice. Here is the recipe:
