Here have some recipe of mine that are for broke college student like me xD
Nasi Goreng ala Anak Kost aka
Cheap Fried Rice (In my country the estimated amount of money used for this is only around $1 - $3)
INGREDIENT:
1 Plate of rice
Sausage, slice to however you liked it but i recommend you to slice it into thin circle(optional)
1 Egg
3 Cayenne pepper (or just use as many as you like doesn't matter)
1 Clove of garlic (slice em to thin slice)
1 Clove of onion/shallot (slice this to thin slice too)
Cooking oil
Salt
Pepper
Soy Sauce (The sweet one, not the salty kind like that of a japanese soy sauce)
STEPS:
heat up some cooking oil, don't put too much. Use medium heat and then switch to lower heat once the cooking oil heated up.
Put the sliced garlic and onion into the cooking oil and stir-fry it until it gives off nice smell.(dont stir it for too long since garlic and onion tend to get burnt fast)
Put rice and the sliced sausage in, stir it till it mixed up with the onion and garlic.(just few second like 20-40 sec or else you will burn the rice along with the onion and garlic)
Crack 1 egg, put it into the rice along with some salt and pepper also soy sauce and stir-fry it again until it well mixed up and spice has been absorbed by the rice.
After all of it already mixed up, just stir again until the rice has dry up a bit and then turn off the heat and put the now done rice into a plate.
Yay now you got a super cheap Fried Rice that you can enjoy while watching TV or just to eat while hungry in the middle of the night.
LITTLE NOTE:
I usually eat this with another egg that are made into sunny side up eggs or an omellete.
You can actually put any kind of vegetables too in this fried rice, just slice it and put it after you put in the egg so it will get seasoned too with the spice and the egg. My favorite veggie to put into this recipe would be chinese cabbage or just a normal cabbage.
Also try to put some decoration like cucumber and tomato to raise your apetite
