Fried Rice

Ingredients:

400 gram (14 ounces) rice

For the bumbu:

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon sugar (palm or cane)
1/2 tablespoon kecap manis

Vegetable oil

Instructions:

Cook the rice a few hours ahead so it has time to cool down.

In a foodprocessor mix the ingredients for the bumbu until very fine.

In a wok heat about 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the bumbu. Stir fry well. Add the sugar and kecap and stir again. Add the rice, stir fry well until the rice is slightly crisp.
