In an extra large skillet or wok, pan-sear your choice of protien in oil with a little salt, pepper and chili flakes until golden and cooked through, set aside.

In the same skillet, add 1-2 tablespoons oil and saute shallots, garlic, mushrooms, bell pepper and carrots over medium heat until the carrots are tender, about 7-8 minutes. Season with salt. Toss in the fresh peas at the end.

Divide among bowls and serve with some of the optional garnishes,  lime &amp; chile paste.

My husband's comment:  this is the best fried rice I've ever had.  :)  Enough said!!! I used chicken for the protein, thawed green peas, a nice dose of sambal olek, garnished with crushed peanuts.  Delicious!

I love all your veggie forward recipes- this one included. Even my kids enjoyed.

This is not nasi goreng. 
It's only that in name only. Too much garbage in this.

We loved this so much!
We've tried "fried rice"recipes before but this is the first time we've seen the direction to use left over rice. We made extra last night just so that we could try this tonight and we weren't disappointed.
The only thing we will do differently next time is chop up a chilli toss that through.
Thanks for this one!

This Nasi Goreng recipe is the national dish of Indonesia cooked by street vendors in food carts across the country. It's delicious!

coconut oil

500 g chicken breast, finely chopped

eggs

g ginger, crushed

g garlic, crushed

onion,

red chilli, sliced

tbsp kepcap manis*

tbsp fish sauce

Spring onions,

Cucumber,

Heat the coconut oil in a wok on a very high heat until it begins to smoke.

Add the chicken and fry until golden brown.

Move to the edge of the wok and add the garlic, ginger, onion and chilli. Lightly fry for a minute.

Add the eggs and let them sit for 30 seconds or so, without moving them. Partially mix, then let them set again, repeat this a few times until they're cooked though. If you just mix them straight into the mixture they won't cook properly and will go all weird.

Add the chilled, cooked rice, fish sauce and the kepcap manis. Fry, mixing continuously for 2-3 minutes.

Serve. Garnish with a fried egg on top, cucumber and spring onions

Delicious. Another of Scott’s fantastic recipes. We love them. Keep ‘em coming! And thank you

One of my favourite “go to” recipes, tasty and healthy!

Cooked this for hubby for the first time last night... so quick and easy and tasted amazing. Will definitely be making this on a regular basis!

Made the Nasi Goreng a couple of times, a real firm favourite and very easy to make.

Made this tonight and all 5 of us loved it. So far I have had no fails from these recipes plus have added a much needed shake up to my go-to list.

“ like a takeaway but better”.    Quick prep, easy to make, and absolutely delicious. Made for family of 5 ( 3 teenage boys!). Now their favorite dinner!

I made this for dinner last night and Wow! Now one of my favourite dishes.and so easy to make. Looking forward to the leftovers for dinner tonight!

This recipe is a real winner in our house which includes two slightly fussy teenagers. 
It’s so easy to make and is a healthy filling meal. 
It’s a regular dish in our house.

Could olive oil be used instead of coconut oil ?

Tried this last week minus the fried egg and used soy sauce/honey instead of kecap manis. It was delicious 😋 
Decent size portion and easy to make .... winner winner chicken dinner 😀

Easy to make and was delicious. Thanks Scott! P.S. We've also eaten Nasi Goreng for breakfast in Bali 😋🤤

Made this for lunch, simply stunning 😋 simple, quick, filling and damn tasty! Curious to know what protein you'd suggest using for a vegetarian?

Nasi Goreng - Indonesian friend rice.  Fragrant spices combine with leftover rice and vegetables to make a quick, easy, and tasty vegetarian meal.&nbsp;

Nasi Goreng - Indonesian Fried Rice

rice

ginger

turmeric powder

Tablespoons sambal oelek

cumin

garlic

soy sauce

Tablespoons kejap manis

onion (diced)

mushrooms (sliced)

carrots (shredded)

celery (sliced)

red cabbage

spinach (chopped)

bean sprouts

Tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped)

spring onions (sliced)

peanuts

lime wedges

Add the sesame oil to your wok and heat over medium high heat. Add the diced onion, ginger, turmeric and cumin and cook while stirring for about 5 minutes, or until the onions become translucent. Add the crushed garlic to the wok and cook for another minute.

Add the cooked rice to the wok, and mix the cooked onion into it. If the rice has just come from the fridge, you may need to use a spatula to break it up a bit so that the rice and onion can mix together. Add the ketjap manis, sambal Oelek and soy sauce to the wok and mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the seasonings amongst the rice.

Add the vegetables (except the spinach) to the dish and stir fry while mixing the rice and vegetables to combine for about 3 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened a bit. Once the vegetables have softened, add the spinach. You don’t want to over cook it, just wilt it as you fold it in to the rice mixture.

Using a non stick frying pan, cook your eggs to your desired level of doneness. We really like our eggs over easy as we really love how mixing the egg yolk into the dish adds a nice creamy finish to it.

Divide the fried rice amongst 4 bowls, and top with an egg and peanuts. Garnish with a generous helping of cilantro and a slice of lime – a quick squeeze of lime juice on the dish before eating a nice zest to the dish and really helps to highlight all the flavours.

This easy Nasi Goreng Recipe for Indonesian fried rice is a great use for leftover rice, and is perfect for busy weeknights!
