Nasi Goreng Dengan Ikan Sardines (Fried Rice With Sardinese and Onion)
Chill a can of sardines (about 150 g - 4 to 6 oz), open it, remove and skin the sardines. Slice 1 or 2 medium onions and saute them in a little vegetable oil until slightly coloured. add a pinch each of chili powder and salt a teaspoon of paprika. Stir for about a minute, then put in the sardines-carefully, so as not to break them up more than necessary- and stir gently. Then put the sardines and onion on top of your Nasi Gareng as a garnish; don’t - for reasons given in the next recipe, stir them into it.
