Nasi Goreng (Simple fried rice)

 


                This basic recipe is very adaptable, and often includes meat, seafood, vegetables and herbs, depending on the region. West of Jakarta, for example, chicken is a standard ingredient.

                The rice for this dish should always be boiled a few hours before it is to be used, and allowed to cool completely.

Serves 2-4

  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 2 ml shrimp paste
  • 30 ml vegetable oil
  • 2 fresh red chilies, thinly sliced, seeds discarded
  • 4 cups (1 liter) cooked long grain rice
  • 15 ml soy sauce
  • 125 gr cooked chicken, diced, optional
  • 250 ml cooked shrimp (prawns), optional
  • 30 ml peanut oil
  • 1 egg per person
  • ½ cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 tomato, cut into wedges
  1. Blend the onion, garlic and shrimp paste.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet and stir-fry the paste and chilies for about 1 minute ; stir in the rice and soy sauce and mix until the rice is well coated and heated through.
  3. Add the chicken and shrimp, if desired ; check for flavor and add a little salt if necessary.
  4. If the rice is too dry a little extra vegetable oil may be added.
  5. Heat the peanut oil and lightly fry the eggs ; the yolks should still be soft.
  6. Serve the rice hot with the fried eggs on top, and garnish with the cucumber slices and the tomato wedges.
BON APPÉTIT
