Spicy soy nasi goreng

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Nasi Goreng is the king of 'saving leftovers'. Its secret is Kecap Manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce), which caramelises the rice grains dark. Unlike Chinese fried rice, this has a much more intense, sweet-salty and spicy flavour profile. A fried egg on top and crispy fried onions are mandatory elements.

Instructions

1 ✓

Heat oil in the wok. Fry the chicken, then add the onion, garlic, and chilli.

Tip: High heat is the essence, fry it, don't steam it.
2 ✓

Add the cold rice, and toss to separate the grains.

Tip: Mash any lumps with the spoon.
3 ✓

Drizzle the rice around with the soy sauce (Kecap Manis). Continue frying until the rice is dark brown and fragrant.

Tip: The sugary soy sauce caramelises on the rice grains.
4 ✓

Fry sunny-side-up eggs in a separate pan.

Tip: Best with a runny yolk that mixes with the rice as a sauce.
5 ✓

Serve the rice with the egg on top, sprinkle with fried onions and place cucumber alongside.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the rice turn into mush?
Because you used fresh, warm rice. Fried rice ALWAYS requires COLD, day-old rice, where the surface has dried out, so it doesn't stick together.
