This is the mother of all nasi goreng. One of the best party dishes particularly when there are teeny bobbers. Caters for 15 people at a time. As these ingredients cook so quickly, your guests will all get piping hot, freshly cooked food. Its a heresy to serve it cold. Do not microwave, the rice grains will glue to each other.
