Greek Salad (Horiatiki)
The village salad of Greece: ripe tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, green pepper and olives in olive oil, crowned with a whole slab of feta and a pinch of oregano. No lettuce needed. Adapted from “Greek Salad” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Gave amounts for every ingredient (the source lists none) for 4 servings, and dried oregano over the feta instead of an optional fresh sprig.

Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice)
Indonesia's everyday fried rice: shallots, garlic and chile fried with chicken, then cold rice glazed with sweet soy sauce. Serve it with cucumber slices and, if you like, a fried egg on top. Adapted from “Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice)” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Gave amounts for the rice, oil and soy sauces; chose chicken and green beans from the optional list and read "fish oil" as fish sauce. The fried egg on top comes from the source's variations.

Yeung Chow Fried Rice
The Cantonese fried rice found in every Hong Kong café: day-old jasmine rice tossed with prawns, char siu, bacon, peas and egg. A great home for leftover rice. Adapted from “Yeung Chow Fried Rice” in the Wikibooks Cookbook (CC BY-SA 4.0). Salt and pepper cut from 1 tbsp each to 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp white pepper; serves 3 rather than 7 for the same amount of rice.
