This week’s recipe from the dietitians at Salford Royal is Vegetarian Nasi Goreng. It is an Indonesian dish and Nasi Goreng means ‘fried rice’. This dish is a great way to use up leftover rice and vegetables, and makes a tasty and speedy week day dinner. If you are following a potassium restriction, remember to boil the vegetables before adding to the dish.
