Hey you guys! I made a recipe that I wanted to share with you. It's not a pretty one (presentation wise) it's just a big bowl of stuff, kind of a stir fry thing--but not really. Wanna see? It's super fast & easy.
_____________________________
First off I got most of the ingredients from Trader Joes...so if you don't have a Traders Joe's market near you, then I'll tell you what the ingredients are so you can try and sub them ok? It's pretty much just three things: Rice, Sausage and Mushrooms.
First I used two packages of these Mushroom Asiago Chicken Sausages. (so 8 total)
Then I bought one 16 oz. pkg. these frozen mushrooms because they had a bunch of different types of mushrooms that I'd never heard of, and it was easy because they were already sliced up. But I also bought some regular fresh sliced mushrooms.
I used two 16oz packages of Nasi Goreng. It's an Indonesian rice mixture of basamati rice, carrots, snow peas, mushrooms, some soy sauce and garlic.
So first I browned up the chicken sausages in a large pan with a little oil, garlic and water. (Note: the Pink Tongs!!! That pic was for you Jennifer. I KNOW they are salad tongs not sausage tongs Joe)
After they are all browned up, I cut them into small bite size pieces and popped them back into the same pan. (You could always keep the sausages whole, but I would remove them from the pan before adding all the other stuff) So anyway, I added the rest of the stuff; the two bags of rice, the frozen mushrooms and the fresh mushrooms and added a cup of water. Stir well, turn the heat to low and cover it. I cooked it about 15 mins. and that was pretty much it!
I told you it's not glamorous looking...more like comfort food.
....here ya go! Serve yourself up a big bowl of rice sausage mushroomie goop. :)
Ooooohh!!!! You were wrong, that is very glamorous! The way those pink tongs hold that sausage!!! (sorry)
The recipe looks absolutely delish! Thank you.
Another recipe to steal and add to my cook book. hmmmmm....I think I will call it "Goop" or maybe I'll use the french translation..."le goop". Sounds better. :)
Have a nice evening Lo,

Posted by: Joe on May 12, 2004 07:32 PMThank you for the glamorous comment Joe. You are a comfort food man I can tell.
So, do you have a Trader's close to you in Washington? Or have you ever seen that Nasi Goreng Rice in your grocery store frozen like that before? I think you would really like this "Le Goop"---and you would make mega brownie points with the family with this one too.
Posted by: Lo on May 12, 2004 07:51 PMYummy! I'll have to explore that Nasi Goreng. We have 2 Trader Joe's here about sme distance. In fact, I hear Mom got me one of the self-watering pots (with rose) which she will bring over tomorrw. I wonder how they look like. Lolo, I can smell that dinner all the way here! I cooked chicken for dinner too, using TJ's ice glazed chicken breasts - so tastey! I just baked and put BBQ sauce on top for last 20 minutes -yours is by all means more glam ;) Thanks Lo!

Posted by: liljiffy on May 13, 2004 07:44 AMOMG that looks tastey...
I don't have a trader Joe's but i could probably make my own Nasi Goreng.
Thanks for sharing that one!!
I love that bracelet too!!
Posted by: Jenny McE on May 13, 2004 12:34 PMOh, yeah, comfort food! Yep, a nice recipe to save and savor...
Posted by: dan on May 13, 2004 08:57 PMYUM!!!
I don't think I can find the Naso Goreng, here. I have a feeling that Piggly Wiggly doesn't carry it.
But, I think I can whip up my own version of Naso Goreng, from the indigents you've listed. Unless there's some "secret" ingredient?
Thanks Lo.
Posted by: Windi on May 14, 2004 07:28 AMWindi, Piggly Wiggly?? lol! Is that really the name of a store?
Nope, no secret ingredients in the Naso Goreng. The one's that I listed were the ones that were on the bag itself. I mean...it did have some other big words (prolly perservatives etc.) and I just typed Soy Sauce, but they said "powdered Soy sauce" anyway--yes, pretty easy to make your own NG.
I miss trader joes. lesigh....
