Anchovies Fried Rice

This is one of the famous variants of Nasi Goreng, especially sold by the Chinese decendant food vendors in Indonesia. Nasi Goreng Teri, means Anchovies Fried Rice. Nasi means "rice" and Goreng means "fried" in Indonesian language. This recipe looks so complicated but it is actually not. In fact..it is a pretty simple & easy cooking process but the result is superb & delicious. And you don't need to worry about hunting down the uncommon ingredients. If you don't like anchovies just replace it with chicken fillet or shrimps.The recipe I have developed from my own experiements but some of the cooking techniques I adopted from one of my website's readers as well as observera, who have provided me usefull input for posting this recipe . And of course the technique has been tested for generations from someone who's really specialises in Chinese food. Thx & credits to Ms. Francine Liem ;-).Important Tips: 1. Use cold cooked rice or you can cook the rice and store it in the refrigerator overnight. Using freshly cooked rice will make soft, bloated rice. 2. Use high temperature of stove during cooking, especially when the rice is already added on the wok and while adding the sauce. The sauce must have a direct contact to the pan's surface and provide a sound like "cho-es" to obtain the best taste. You can observe during the cooking process, when some of the rice grain appear to spring away from the wok, then the rice is done and you made it right :-).Note: This is for one portion to serve it right away. I've tried to make it double along with all ingredients but the result was not really satisfying compare to a single portion. I can not explain why but feel free if you want to try it out with more amount of rice and good luck ;-)
