NASI GORENG (INDONESIAN FRIED RICE)



Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice) image

Recipe video above. A traditional Indonesian fried rice recipe which is often served with a fried egg for a protein boost to make it a meal, but I usually serve it as a side dish. The magic ingredient in this is kecap manis, a sweet soy sauce which is available in large supermarkets and of course in Asian stores. Feel free to swap out the chicken for other proteins! Shrimp/prawns, tofu, beef and pork are all great alternatives.

Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 1h1m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 1/4 cups long grain rice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 slices smoked bacon
1 1/2 cups lean pork or 1 1/2 cups chicken, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 medium carrot, shredded
2 cups cabbage, chopped
4 cups water
1 leek, sliced into rings
1 teaspoon trassi oedang (shrimp paste)
1 tablespoon ketjap manis
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon curcumae
1/4 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon sambal oelek (optional)
salt

Steps:

  • Boil the rice according to the instructions on the package. Make sure that the rice is fluffy.
  • In a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and fry the smoked bacon and pork or chicken until done.
  • Add the onion and garlic.
  • Turn the heat to medium and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a separate large saucepan, bring the carrot and cabbage to a boil in about 4 cups of water. Boil for 3 minutes; drain.
  • Add the leek and trassi oedang to the meat mixture; simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Add the cooked cabbage and carrot mixture.
  • Keep the entire mixture on low heat and stir in the beaten eggs until they are well incorporated.
  • Add the ketjap manis, cumin, curcumae, coriander, and sambal oelek if using.
  • Stir well and add the fluffy white rice.
  • Mix well and serve warm.
  • Serving Ideas:.
  • May serve with sate (peanut sauce) on the side.
  • NOTES : Trassi is a shrimp paste found in Asian grocery stores. If you do not have any, you can either use peeled shrimp mixed in with the other meat, or leave it out all together.
  • Ketjap manis is a sweet soy sauce. Use regular soy sauce if you can't find this type, but you are missing something wonderful! We don't use the cabbage in our nasi.
  • Instead of the spices listed above, we usually just buy a Nasi goreng spice mixture at a Dutch store, or Chinese market. It is easy and very good.
  • I don't know what curcumae is so I guess we don't put it in our nasi!

A colorful stir-fried rice dish of shrimp and eggs seasoned with a spicy soy sauce mixture.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/2 cups long grain rice, or 3 cups cooked and cooled long grain rice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 teaspoons sambal oelek, plus more for serving
3 tablespoons peanut oil
3 large eggs, beaten
12 ounces small shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
3 scallions, julienned, soaked in cold water
1 small carrot, julienned, soaked in cold water
Hoisin sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • If cooking the rice, prepare according to package instructions. Cool and set aside. (This can be done up to day ahead).
  • Mix the soy sauce, fish sauce, sambal oelek and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl and set near the stove. Place all the remaining ingredients by the stove as well. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok or large deep skillet over high heat. Add the eggs and cook, swirling the pan but not stirring the eggs, so the eggs spread out to make a flat, set omelet, about 2 minutes. Remove the omelet from the wok to the work surface, cool, and slice into strips.
  • Add 1 more tablespoon oil to the pan and, when hot, add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until just pink, about 3 minutes. Remove from the wok and chop coarsely. Wipe out any accumulated juices in the wok.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the shallots, garlic, brown sugar and coriander and cook until the shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Add the rice along with the soy sauce mixture and stir to coat and combine. Increase the heat to medium-high and continue stir-frying until the rice is heated through and lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and egg strips and cook until just heated through. Transfer to a platter and top with the drained scallions and carrots. Serve with more sambal oelek and hoisin, as desired.

Nasi goreng is a popular Indonesian dish that is enjoyed by many people all around the world. It is a simple and easy-to-make dish that can be customized according to your preferences. The dish is made by stir-frying pre-cooked rice with various vegetables, meats, and seasonings. The result is a flavorful dish that can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you are interested in making amazing nasi goreng recipes, there are certain tips that you should keep in mind. In this article, we will explore some valuable tips for making delicious and flavorful nasi goreng dishes.

Tip #1: Use cold, pre-cooked rice

The first and most important tip for making amazing nasi goreng is to use cold, pre-cooked rice. This is because cold rice is less sticky and clumps less than warm or freshly cooked rice. Using pre-cooked rice also ensures that the grains are separate and do not break when stirred. To make pre-cooked rice, you can cook the rice the day before or use leftover rice from a previous meal. The rice should be cooked and cooled in the refrigerator for at least a few hours before using it for nasi goreng.

Tip #2: Use high heat and a hot wok

One of the key elements of making amazing nasi goreng is to use high heat and a hot wok. Stir-frying the ingredients at high heat ensures that they cook quickly and retain their texture and flavor. A hot wok also helps to prevent sticking and ensure that the ingredients are evenly cooked. To ensure that your wok is hot enough, heat it over high heat for a few minutes before adding the oil and ingredients. You can test the heat by adding a drop of water to the wok - if it sizzles and evaporates immediately, the wok is hot enough.

Tip #3: Use a variety of vegetables

Adding a variety of vegetables to your nasi goreng not only adds flavor and texture but also makes it a healthy and balanced meal. Some popular vegetables to use in nasi goreng include carrots, bell peppers, onions, and peas. When adding vegetables to your nasi goreng, it is important to cut them into small and uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. You can also blanch or sauté the vegetables before adding them to the wok to ensure that they are cooked but still retain their texture and color.

Tip #4: Use good quality protein

Adding protein to your nasi goreng not only adds flavor and texture but also makes it a more satisfying meal. Some popular proteins to use in nasi goreng include chicken, shrimp, and beef. When choosing protein for your nasi goreng, it is important to use good quality meat that is fresh and clean. You can marinate the meat beforehand to add flavor and tenderness. It is also important to cook the protein separately before adding it to the wok to ensure that it is cooked through.

Tip #5: Use a variety of seasonings

Seasonings are an important part of making amazing nasi goreng. They add flavor and aroma to the dish and can be customized according to your preferences. Some popular seasonings to use in nasi goreng include soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and kecap manis. When adding seasonings to your nasi goreng, it is important to taste as you go to ensure that the flavors are balanced and not too overpowering. You can add more seasoning or adjust the flavors as needed.

Tip #6: Garnish with fresh herbs

Garnishing your nasi goreng with fresh herbs not only adds color but also adds flavor and nutrients. Some popular herbs to use as garnish include cilantro, basil, and scallions. When adding herbs to your nasi goreng, it is important to add them at the end of the cooking process so that they retain their flavor and aroma. You can also chop the herbs finely or leave them whole, depending on your preference.

Tip #7: Serve with traditional condiments

Nasi goreng is traditionally served with condiments such as sambal, fried egg, and krupuk. These condiments not only complement the flavors of the nasi goreng but also add texture and variety. When serving nasi goreng, it is important to have these condiments available for your guests to add as they please. You can also experiment with different condiments and sauces to find your favorite combination.
Conclusion
By following these valuable tips, you can make amazing nasi goreng recipes that are flavorful, healthy, and satisfying. Remember to use cold, pre-cooked rice, high heat, and a hot wok, a variety of vegetables and protein, a variety of seasonings, fresh herbs, and traditional condiments to create nasi goreng dishes that are sure to impress.
