Taste Test: Madam Sal's Malay Fried Rice

We found this lurking on the shelf in Tesco and were intrigued. We've no idea who Madam Sal is, but the picture looked semi-appetising so we thought we'd give it a try.

Taste Test: Instant nasi goreng

We heard that one of our readers, who shall remain nameless, was so inspired by Mrs K's nasi goreng recipe that they went out looking for an instant version in the shops. Sad, but true. But it did give us an idea - Taste Tests. These are where we take some off-the-shelf products and use Mrs K's culinary wizardry and Mr K's stomach to see what they taste like.

Who is Mrs K?

Mrs K is the talented Javanese wife of Mr K, who is nowhere near as talented.

Simple and tasty are Mrs K's watchwords, and you won't need any special equipment or techniques. If you can use a knife, a frying pan and a saucepan you should be fine. A small blender is about the only electrical item she regularly uses.

Give the recipes a try, and don't be afraid to experiment. And don't be surprised if you find the names (or ingredients) don't match dishes you've tried before - home cooking is like that!

Over the years she has become expert at substituting for hard-to-find Indonesian ingredients, so most of her recipes use stuff you can buy easily. If something exotic is required, we'll let you know where we got it from.

Any questions? Put them in the comments and we'll do our best to answer them.
