A real easy dinner for somewhere in the week, when there is not much time or energy to really cook something up. I have this easy rice cooker which makes it really easy to cook rice; plunk in your raw rice, add 1.5 times the amount of water and put on COOK - it beeps when it is finished so you can start cooking your other things. Take fatty pork or pork chops (300 to 400 grams) which you cut into chunks or strips, add 2 tablespoons of oil to a pot, and fry in the hot oil until browned. You can add green bell peppers, onions or even chilis if you like this hot, don't forget to put in one or 2 cloves of garlic. Then, add Indonesian sweet soy sauce (kecap or ketjap), about 4 or 5 tablespoons, add 2 cups of water, add some salt and cook on a low fire for about 20 or 30 minutes. You can add a vegetable dish to this meal by stir-frying some veggies from the fridge - I think I used carrots, zucchini, chinese cabbage and onions. Serve with Indonesian stuff like seroendeng (a mixture of dry fried grated coconut and peanuts with spices) and crispy fried onions, both from the Asian store. The meat dish practically cooks itself and becomes a nice dark coulour with a beautiful tasty dark sauce. Enjoy!
