Nasi Goreng Melayu, Malay Fried Rice - "Malaysian Monday 36"

My nannny Kak Timah used to make this for me to take to school. Whenever I asked "nasi goreng apa tu? (what kind of fried rice is that?) and her answer was always "nasi goreng macam- macam ada!"(fried rice with all sorts in it!) With some leftover cooked rice and some sambal tumis  in the fridge, it was easy to recreate the dish that brings back many fond memories..... 

I am looking forward to the Easter/Anzac long weekend and there will be a few Malaysian meals, please let me know if you have any special request.
