Nasi Goreng

There are so many possible answers to this question.

It's a rice dish. It's a fried rice dish. It's a fried rice dish, usually cooked with pieces of meat and vegetables. It's one of Indonesia's national dishes.

Wikipedia also lists Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei as countries where it's "endemic in Malay–speaking communities", and Sri Lanka, Suriname and the Netherlands as countries where it "has gained popularity" (the last of these through its colonial ties with Indonesia).

It would have been much better to ask (for example) "Which dish, originally from Indonesia, has a name that means 'fried rice' in both the Indonesian and Malay languages?" Or "Nasi goreng is a fried rice dish, usually cooked with pieces of meat and vegetables, that originated in which country?"

More difficult, perhaps. But at least each of these questions has only one answer; and the second is a better match to the next question (No. 78).
