There are so many wonderful things about Nasi Goreng … it can be simple, complicated, spicy, mild, veggie, meaty, eaten hot, eaten cold for breakfast, eaten as a main, or a side – for hungover days and for dinner parties!
One of the best things about it is that you can generally make it with any random leftovers in the kitchen – here’s our easy version that you can edit to what you’ve got lying around!
The most important factor in this recipe is the cooking method- do not overfill the wok or pan that you’re cooking with. As a rule, do not fill your wok more than a third full- any more and steam can’t escape resulting in soggy rice instead of a dish that’s full of flavour!
