About Bami Goreng
Vanessa’s Javaanse bami is a Javanese-Surinamese noodle dish made with spaghetti and the sweet and salty ABC ketjap her mother used. Onion, garlic, galangal and salam leaves flavour the noodles.
The sweet ketjap has a syrupy character that balances the salty sauce. Flat-leaf parsley adds a fresh herbal finish, while sambal accompanies the noodles for extra heat.
The spaghetti is tossed through the bubbling sauce, coating the strands with its dark seasoning. Sticky tempeh, kroepoek, pickled cucumber and tomato form the selected accompaniments.
