Can someone help me? I want to learn to cook Chinese as fried rice, but I don't know how to start. I have several chinese herbs, like ketoembar (1), djintan (2), djahé (3), laos (4) and serehpowder (5). I have pictures of it, but it is a Dutch site.

I want to use that in Chinese food. We all like Chinese food here, but not the sharp things like sambal or red peppers. Also no paprika or onion.
How can I start or does someone have recipes for me?

Just one point for now -- the products and ingredients you are talking about are Indonesian, not Chinese.

Why can you eat this kind of food in Chinese restaurants when it is Indonesian?

Drive, one may find Indonesian food in Chinese restaurants in the Netherlands, but not usually in the U.S. I haven't seen Indonesian food in a Chinese restaurant, but once I did in a "pan-Asian" (all-Asian) restaurant here in the U.S.

We have some Chef Talk members who live in Indonesia. Perhaps they can give you some advice. Good luck!

Because there are Indonesian Chinese. You are probably eating fried rice, Indonesian style, cooked by Indonesian Chinese.

So google up Indonesian Fried Rice and see what comes up.

Hello Drive,

I am a Malaysian of chinese descent and Indonesia is just next door. As far as our usual fried rice is concerned (there are many types of fried rice), the spices you mentioned were never used.

You have requested for some fried rice recipes. I have some fried rice recipes which I think you might want to check it out. To have good fried rice, it is best you use cooked rice which has been kept overnight in the fridge. As far as the ingredients are concerned, it is only limited by your own imagination. Happy cooking!
