Nasi Goreng

Nasi goreng, literally meaning "fried rice" in Indonesian and Malay, can refer simply to fried pre-cooked rice, a meal including stir fried rice in small amount of cooking oil or margarine, typically spiced with kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), shallot, garlic, ground shrimp paste, tamarind and chilli and accompanied by other ingredients, particularly egg, chicken and prawns. Nasi goreng is sometimes described as Indonesian stir-fried rice, although it is also popular in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. Beyond the Malay Archipelago, it has gained popularity through Indonesian influence in Sri Lanka and via Indonesian immigrant communities in Suriname and the Netherlands.It is distinguished from other Asian fried rice recipes by its aromatic, earthy and smoky flavor, owed to generous amount of caramelized sweet soy sauce and powdered shrimp paste, and the taste is stronger and spicier compared to Chinese fried rice.

How to make 

• 350 gr. Long Grain Rice cooked and allowed to cool overnight
• 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
• 3 Eggs
• 1 Onion
• 2 fresh Chillies, Sambal Ulek or Sambal Badjak.
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 3 green onions
• 2 shallots
• 1 teaspoon Ground Coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin seeds
• 250 gr. Chicken meat
• 250 gr. Shelled Prawns
• 3 Tbs. Kecap Manis (sweet soy sauce)
• Freshly prepared Prawn Crackers or other similar crackers
•  Crisp Fried shallots 
• Method:
• 1. Make an omelette with the beaten eggs and stand aside. When cool cut into strips for later addition.
  2. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan. Add the chopped onion, sliced shallots and green onions, garlic and chillies. Fry until the onion is soft.
  3. Add the Coriander and Cumin. Slice Chicken into strips and add to the pan. Stir fry until just cooked.
  4. The next addition is the prawns and these should be continuously stirred as they cook until they just begin to show signs of pinkness and no more. It’s an important trick to remember for all asian dishes with prawn. This will produce both the best texture and final flavor.
  5. As soon as the prawns show the first signs of cooking, add the rice, sweet soy sauce and the omelette strips and cook for a further 5 minutes.
  6. Garnish with some of the chopped green onion, Crisp Fried shallots and Prawn Crackers.
              Serve hot.
