Nasi Goreng – Indonesian Fried Rice

I have been craving for Nasi Goreng ever since I tasted it from a Malaysian restaurant in Charlotte.

Nasi Goreng is supposed to be Indonesian or Malay Fried Rice. It is different from the more popular Chinese Fried Rice as it uses Shallots, Fish Sauce or Shrimp Paste, Sambal – chili sauce or powder, Sambal Kecap Manis – Indonesian Soy Sauce, garlic and so on.

Nasi Goreng

There are hundreds of varieties of Nasi Goreng and it varies from region to region. I went through lot of recipes for Nasi Goreng and used a combination of many of those recipes. It was my first attempt in making Nasi Goreng and it tasted good.

The rice used to make nasi goreng is cooked ahead of time and left to cool down so that it is not soggy. Hence, it is better to use rice cooked on the previous day.
