Nasi goreng jaffles
Think throw-together nasi goreng (Indonesian fried rice). Normally you would combine ingredients in a food processor or mortar and pestle to create a rempah (paste), fry this, then add in a whole host of additions, but I've forgone authenticity for speed. No fancy leavened sourdoughs here; this works best on white bread. If you like extra brown and crunch, give the outer sides of bread a swathe of butter before assembling.

Green beans in coconut cream
The key to these beans is the "rempah" – the paste of onion, garlic, ginger and chilli that forms the basis of many Malaysian and Indonesian dishes. Think of it as a south-east-Asian mirepoix.
