I have lots of vegetables to use up and so tonight made one of my favourite dishes of all time, nasi goreng.  I still remember when I first read about this dish in Elena Ford's Fire Islands book, I had a glut of left over vegetables but only bits so certainly not enough to make anything substantial. This meant that it was perfect for meat free Monday, perfect for using up my odds and ends without wasting anything which is great, I just was not sure if it was either going to be one of the best dishes ever or slightly just an ok dish. It turned out to be one of the nicest things I have eaten. Since then I have made this so many times and it never ever disappoints.  It is just lovely, really flavourful, really, really delicious and I love that it uses everything up so nothing goes to waste. Just lovely.
