The Indonesian nasi goreng, or Indonesian fried rice, is a stir-fry using overnight cooked rice, some meat and some vegetables, all fried together with beaten egg and sweet soy sauce. It originates from Indonesia and is very popular in countries within Southeast Asia, including Singapore.
I love that it is a very easy dish to prepare because you use pre-cooked rice – which means it takes a much lesser time to cook. I can store the rice in my fridge, ready to use once I get home from work. Once the fried rice is done, serve it with a sunny side up and some crackers to complete the dish.
Yum yum!
