Nasi Goreng
This Indonesian fried rice has three important aspects to get it right:
1) The best results happen with cold and dry rice. You could use frozen rice leftovers.
2) Kecap Manis, a sweet indonesian soy sauce. If you can’t buy it, use soy sauce and syrup.
3) Extra Indonesian toppings and side dishes like a peanut sauce or fried egg.
Saffron Pasta
Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world, but luckily you only need very little. Simmering the sauce for a total of 25 minutes allows the taste to fully develop and creates a very comforting pasta sauce.

Read MoreChickpea Wat
This Ethiopian recipe is very simple, it just needs a bit of time for the
flavour to fully develop. It’s important to use plenty of spices and better
add a bit of stock later than making it too watery at the beginning. If you
don’t like chickpeas you can replace them with peas.
