Turmeric root and kaempferia galanga fried rice

I made this Saturday morning and seeing the boys and hubby really really love its taste I decided to make it again the next day. I even made some bento for my boys, you can see it HERE. Too bad I did not had a chance to take any picture so I am using one of my bento pictures. But I'll update it when I make it again.


We call this fried rice a Nasi Goreng Kunyit, it's translated as turmeric fried rice.
My mom made this a lot when we were little, especially when one of us complain about having stomachache. Back then I did not know any details about good benefits of turmeric roots etc, I just know its good for you, and I love its taste too.

I started making bento since my first son entering PreK. But I am still learning. My bento are very simple, but I am so glad you like it ^__^
