Nasi Goreng

Simple Nasi Goreng Recipe

Ingredients

  • 250 g cooked and cooled basmati rice or 250g cooked and cooled Jasmin rice
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 3 shallots sliced into thinly or 4 spring onions sliced thinly
  • 100 g frozen peas
  • 100 g of frozen sweetcorn or a small tin of sweetcorn
  • 1 red pepper finely chopped
  • Chicken breasts Optional
  • 1 egg per person
  • Nasi Goreng paste to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok and fry the sliced shallots until golden and set aside.
  2. Then on a high heat add the paste to the oil before adding your meat (if using) and then add your vegetables and stir fry, keeping everything on the move.
  3. Add the rice and mix well. When everything is piping hot, serve immediately topped with fried onion, and spring onion.
  4. Traditionally the rice is topped with a fried egg, but as I said earlier I have one that prefers poached eggs!

Recipe Notes

Use leftover or a day-old rice for the best result.

We make this with what ever leftover meat with have, pork is great and to mix things up prawns are amazing.

It is traditionally made with long green beans.
