How to Cook dishes from Indonesia

• Bakso Solo - Beef meatballs in a hot and spicy soup containing green vegetables, mung bean thread noodles, and shredded cabbage.
  
  
• Gudeg Yogya - A sweet stew made from young jackfruit and hard-boiled egg.
  
  
• Ketupat - A rice dumpling made by wrapping rice in a palm leaf pouch and boiling. The cooking process compresses the rice as it expands, producing a kind of rice dumpling. Ketupat are sometimes boiled in thin coconut milk and spices.
  
  
• Lumpia Semarang - Springrolls, fried or steam. They usually contain meat and bamboo shoots, and served with fermented soybean sauce.
  
  
• Nasi goreng - This is a fried rice meal. It usually contains vegetables (particularly onion and shallot), egg and prawns, and is flavored with chilli, garlic, soy sauce, and tamarind. Indonesians often make the dish from leftovers, and often eat it for breakfast.
