The Lowdown:
The classic Nasi Goreng we all love at local eateries and restaurants - also known as fried rice! It's typically made with leftover cooked rice, which is stir-fried with vegetables, protein, and a variety of flavorful sauces and spices. Clearly, it’s one of those dishes that’s so comforting and it brings you down memory lane for some - one serve simply won’t be enough! In this recipe, we’d explore with kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) to give the dish its signature sweet and savory flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked (or leftover) white rice
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 red chillies, finely chopped
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tbsp kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Steps:
- Heat a large wok or non-stick pan over high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic, onion, and chillies. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the beaten eggs to the pan and scramble them until they are fully cooked. Then, add the cooked white rice to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until the rice is hot and evenly coated with the egg mixture.
- Pour in the sweet soy sauce and stir to combine. Add the salt and black pepper, and stir-fry for another minute or two until everything is evenly combined and the rice is slightly crispy.
- Add the sliced green onions and chopped cilantro, and stir-fry for another minute or so until the green onions are slightly wilted.
- Serve the Nasi Goreng hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top!
This recipe is perfect for anyone looking for a quick and easy dinner that's packed with flavor. It's also a great way to use up leftover rice and any vegetables or protein you have on hand. Plus, the recipe uses just a few simple ingredients, so it's budget-friendly too.
