Simple Nasi Goreng Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a wok over a high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 mins until softened and slightly caramelised. Add the garlic and stir for 1 min.
• Toss in the carrot and cabbage, then cook for 1-2 mins. Add the rice and stir to warm through. Pour in the fish sauce, soy sauce and some seasoning. Make a well in the centre of the wok and crack in the egg. Fry until the white is nearly set.
• Serve the rice in a large bowl, topped with the fried egg and drizzled with chilli sauce.

Steps:

• Put the rice in a medium heavy-based saucepan and add 520ml water. Quickly bring to the boil, stir once and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 mins. Uncover, fluff up with a fork and spread over a tray. Set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Pour in the beaten egg and, as it begins to cook, use a spatula to bring large flakes of cooked egg into the middle of the omelette. Continue to cook like this for a couple of mins, then leave the rest of the egg to set completely. Flip the omelette over and transfer to a plate to cool before cutting it into long, thin shreds.
• Drop the beans into a pan of boiling salted water and cook for 3 mins. Drain, refresh under cold water and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in a wok or large, deep frying pan until almost smoking. Add the chicken and prawns, and stir-fry for 1 min. Tip in the shallots, garlic, chillies and carrots, and stir-fry for a further 2 mins until the carrot is just tender. Add the spice paste and stir-fry for 1 min more. Add the tomato purée, kecap manis, cooked rice and green beans, and stir-fry over a high heat for 2 mins. Add the soy sauce, spring onions and shredded omelette, and toss together.
• Spoon the nasi goreng onto warmed plates. Overlap the cucumber and tomato on the side of each plate, sprinkle over the crispy fried onions and serve with prawn crackers.

Steps:

• Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Place in a pan with 600ml water and bring to the boil. Cover and cook on a very low heat for 15 mins, all the water should have been absorbed. Spread out the rice in a shallow dish and allow to cool.
• Heat a wok and beat the eggs. Scramble the eggs, remove and set aside.
• Place the garlic, half the chilli and half the onion in a blender and process to a coarse paste. Heat the ground nut oil and fry the paste for 1 minute.
• Add the remaining onion and chilli, pepper and carrots. Stir fry for 2 minutes Add the cold rice and fry for a further 3 mins until the grains are separated and all the ingredients mixed well.
• Add soy, spring onions and egg and fry for a further 3 mins so all is combined and the rice is hot.
• Serve as is or garnished with coriander.

Steps:

• If cooking the rice, prepare according to package instructions. Cool and set aside. (This can be done up to day ahead).
• Mix the soy sauce, fish sauce, sambal oelek and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl and set near the stove. Place all the remaining ingredients by the stove as well. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok or large deep skillet over high heat. Add the eggs and cook, swirling the pan but not stirring the eggs, so the eggs spread out to make a flat, set omelet, about 2 minutes. Remove the omelet from the wok to the work surface, cool, and slice into strips.
• Add 1 more tablespoon oil to the pan and, when hot, add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until just pink, about 3 minutes. Remove from the wok and chop coarsely. Wipe out any accumulated juices in the wok.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the shallots, garlic, brown sugar and coriander and cook until the shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Add the rice along with the soy sauce mixture and stir to coat and combine. Increase the heat to medium-high and continue stir-frying until the rice is heated through and lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and egg strips and cook until just heated through. Transfer to a platter and top with the drained scallions and carrots. Serve with more sambal oelek and hoisin, as desired.

Steps:

• Boil the rice according to the instructions on the package. Make sure that the rice is fluffy.
• In a wok or large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and fry the smoked bacon and pork or chicken until done.
• Add the onion and garlic.
• Turn the heat to medium and simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a separate large saucepan, bring the carrot and cabbage to a boil in about 4 cups of water. Boil for 3 minutes; drain.
• Add the leek and trassi oedang to the meat mixture; simmer for 3 minutes.
• Add the cooked cabbage and carrot mixture.
• Keep the entire mixture on low heat and stir in the beaten eggs until they are well incorporated.
• Add the ketjap manis, cumin, curcumae, coriander, and sambal oelek if using.
• Stir well and add the fluffy white rice.
• Mix well and serve warm.
• Serving Ideas:.
• May serve with sate (peanut sauce) on the side.
• NOTES : Trassi is a shrimp paste found in Asian grocery stores. If you do not have any, you can either use peeled shrimp mixed in with the other meat, or leave it out all together.
• Ketjap manis is a sweet soy sauce. Use regular soy sauce if you can't find this type, but you are missing something wonderful! We don't use the cabbage in our nasi.
• Instead of the spices listed above, we usually just buy a Nasi goreng spice mixture at a Dutch store, or Chinese market. It is easy and very good.
• I don't know what curcumae is so I guess we don't put it in our nasi!

Steps:

• Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Spread onto a baking sheet, and refrigerate 2 hours until cold.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Pour eggs into hot skillet. Cook until the eggs begin to set, lifting up the edges of the set eggs to allow the uncooked egg to contact the hot pan, about 1 minute. Flip omelet in one piece and cook until fully set, about 30 seconds. Slice omelet into 1/2 inch strips.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Stir in the onion, leek, garlic, and chile peppers. Cook, stirring, until onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken, prawns, coriander, and cumin, mixing well. Cook and stir for approximately 5 minutes.
• Mix in the cold rice, sweet soy sauce, and omelet strips; cook until shrimp are bright pink and chicken is no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.
