Nasi Goreng is the most common food you can find in Indonesia . Everyone knows how to cook Nasi Goreng , or as we know it over here , Fried Rice . It’s a little different with Chinese Fried Rice , the Indonesian uses shallots , garlic , tomatoes , etc while the chinese fried rice mainly uses soy sauce . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up in Indonesia , we used to have this street vendor during dinner time , selling all kinds of food , maybe it’s satay ( grilled chicken on a stick with peanut sauce ) , fried rice , fruit salad , meatball soup ( bakso ) , all kinds you can think of . All you have to do just wait til they pass by your house and they’ll cook it in front of your house . It was awesome , especially during my college days , where i was too lazy to cook , or just being hungry in the middle of the night and there was no food left anymore , but wait .. there’s street vendor passing by your dorm and food will be ready within minutes ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So , most indonesian would cook their fried rice without any meat , however they would add sunny side egg as a topping . I like to add meat whether it’s ham or chinese sausage to my fried rice , along with scrambled egg , or skip the egg and make sunny side up . Whatever you like . And the most important thing with fried rice is that you have to use day old rice , not freshly cooked rice . So plan ahead , us , Indonesian , usually have rice everyday , so we usually have leftovers rice and whatever you have left in the fridge . It’s like when you have no other idea to cook .. you make fried rice LOL <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure the rice is day old rice , i put them in the fridge overnight and take it out an hour or two before you cook them . I also use ham , and chinese sausage in this recipe . You can replace the onion if you can’t find any shallots , use any kinds of tomatoes , ( my mom sometimes used ketchup to replace the tomatoes ) , use sambal or if you have fresh chilis , use it , the shrimp paste in the recipe is optional but it def use it if you have them since it makes it more flavorful . The fried rice is also needs to be cooked in high heat , constantly stirring and mixing is required , otherwise you’ll burn the rice .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
