How to Make Nasi Goreng
- Prepare the rice: If using leftover rice, fluff it with a fork. If cooking rice fresh, cook 2 cups of rice according to package directions. Set aside to cool completely.
- Prep the aromatics: Finely chop 1 medium onion and 2-3 cloves of garlic. Mince 1-2 red chilies (adjust to your spice preference).
- Stir-fry the aromatics: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and chilies and stir-fry until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add the protein: Add 150g of cooked chicken or shrimp (or your preferred protein, pre-cooked and sliced), and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Incorporate the rice: Add the cooled rice to the wok/pan. Break up any clumps and stir-fry for 5 minutes, allowing the rice to become slightly crispy.
- Season and flavor: Add 2 tablespoons of kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon of ground turmeric. Stir-fry until the rice is well coated and heated through.
- Add vegetables: Add 1 cup of mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, beansprouts) and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and garnish with 1/4 cup of chopped spring onions and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve hot with a fried egg on top (optional). Enjoy your delicious Nasi Goreng!
