nasi goreng”

Step 1: Gather the ingredients for making nasi goreng. These typically include cooked rice, vegetables (such as carrots, peas, and onions), protein (such as shrimp, chicken, or tofu), soy sauce, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), garlic, and chili paste.

Step 2: Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil and allow it to heat up.

Step 3: Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and stir-fry for a minute or until fragrant.

Step 4: Add the vegetables to the wok and stir-fry until they are cooked but still slightly crisp. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5: Push the vegetables to one side of the wok and add the protein (shrimp, chicken, tofu, etc.) to the empty space. Cook until the protein is fully cooked and heated through.

Step 6: Add the cooked rice to the wok and mix it with the vegetables and protein. Stir-fry for a few minutes to heat the rice through.

Step 7: Drizzle soy sauce and kecap manis over the rice mixture. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix everything together, ensuring that the sauce is evenly distributed.

Step 8: If desired, add chili paste or chili flakes to the nasi goreng for some heat. Mix well.

Step 9: Continue stir-frying the nasi goreng for a few more minutes until everything is well combined and the flavors have melded together.

Step 10: Taste the nasi goreng and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more soy sauce or kecap manis for additional flavor.

Step 11: Serve the nasi goreng hot, either on its own or as a side dish with other Indonesian dishes. Enjoy!
