Five dinners from one two-burner stove
No oven, no problem: simple Malaysian-friendly meals for a camp kitchen.
A good camp meal needs few pots and little washing-up. These five work with a single two-burner stove and a cool box.
- Nasi goreng kampung: day-old rice, anchovies, chilli and a fried egg on top.
- One-pot chicken curry with potatoes, served with bread you warmed in the pan.
- Pasta aglio e olio with a tin of tuna and a squeeze of lime.
- Eggs poached in spicy tomato sauce, shakshuka style, with toast.
- Mamak-style mee goreng with whatever vegetables survived the drive.
Prepare the spice mixes at home in small jars. Cooking is easier when the chopping is done.
