Nasi Goreng
Indonesian fried rice with chicken, garlic, chilli and sweet soy sauce.
About Nasi Goreng
Nasi goreng is Indonesian fried rice. This chicken version uses kecap manis, a sweet soy sauce, to give the rice its characteristic brown coating.
Expect sweetness balanced by savoury seasoning, garlic and chilli warmth. Optional shrimp paste adds another savoury layer.
The rice grains remain distinct, with lightly caramelised surfaces. Fried shallots add crunch, while an optional fried egg provides a softer contrast.
