bali rice

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.

Nasi Goreng (Indonesian Fried Rice)

tbsp oil

chicken breast

tbsp kecap manis ((sweet soy sauce, Note 1))

garlic (, finely chopped)

tsp red chilli (, finely chopped (Note 2))

onion (, small, diced)

white rice (, day old, cold (Note 3))

shrimp paste (, optional (Note 4))

eggs (, fried to taste)

green onion (, sliced)

shallots (, store bought (optional) (Note 3))

Lime wedges

Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.

Add chilli and garlic, stir for 10 seconds.

Add onion, cook for 1 minute.

Add chicken, cook until it mostly turns white, then add 1 tbsp kecap manis and cook for a further 1 minute or until chicken is mostly cooked through and a bit caramelised.

Add rice, 2 tbsp kecap manis and shrimp paste, if using. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes until sauce reduces down and rice grains start to caramelise (key for flavour!).

Serve, garnished with garnishes of choice (green onions, red chilli, fried shallots).

Serve as a side for Asian main dishes or as part of a &nbsp;large spread, Asian or not! :) See in post for suggestions.

Make it a meal - traditional Indonesian style!: Serve with a fried egg sunny side up (runny yolk!), tomato wedges and slices of cucumber on the side.
