NASI GORENG RECIPE (serves 2)

INGREDIENTS

• 125ml Indomex Nasi Goreng Spice Jar
• 1 cup Basmati rice (preferably cooked and cooled overnight to prevent stickiness)
• Olive Oil
• 300-500 grams Protein (Chicken fillet, de-shelled Prawns or Pork Fillet)
• 2 teaspoons Indomex Sambal Oelek or 2 finely diced chilli’s (or to taste) (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fish Sauce
• 2-4 dried lime leaves
• 3 shallots finely sliced (or 1 medium size brown onion)
• 2 cups shredded cabbage or bok choy (you can also add chopped leeks and celery for more flavour)
• 100ml Indomex Ketjap Manis (or to taste)

To Serve

• 2 fried eggs (we prefer the yolks runny as adds to the yumminess)
• Sate Sauce (optional but delicious)

METHOD

1. Heat a dash of oil in the wok and fry the garlic, shallots, lime leaves and chilli until translucent
2. Add the shredded cabbage, leek, celery and bok choy and fry for a few minutes until lightly cooked
3. Add in the chicken, pork or prawns and fry until almost done (be careful not to overcook prawns)
4. Add the Nasi Goreng paste and fish sauce and fry for 2-3 minutes
5. Add the cooked cold rice and Ketjap Manis (100ml or to taste)
6. Continue to fry over a low heat allowing the rice will begin caramelise from the Ketjap Manis (this gives the Nasi Goreng its distinctive brown colour and deep more-ish flavour)
7. Spoon into bowls, top with a fried egg and enjoy

Traditionally Nasi Goreng is served with fresh tomatoes & sliced cucumber on the side
