Nasi Goreng – Indonesian Fried Rice

Nasi Goreng or Indonesian fried rice as it is translated is one of our favorite ways to use up any cooked rice we have leftover.  It is a great meal, that both the boys love and super simple to make.  Plus you can add whatever you have in the fridge.

Nasi Goreng

There is something perfect about fried rice topped with a fried or poached egg.  It makes a delicious dressing and this is great either hot or cold.
