Hi I'm Nicky, welcome to our kitchen where we show you how to make delicious
family-friendly recipes. Nasi Goreng is an Indonesian style of fried rice
that's infused with lots of delicious flavours
and all topped off with a crispy fried egg. We're going to start with about 900
grams which is a little under two pounds of
boiled rice. Now if you guys need any hints and tips
on how to perfectly boil rice I'll leave a link right here. It's really
important to cool the rice and let it dry out a little bit and
that's so that sauce really sticks to all those lovely gnarly little clumpy
bits of rice and gets really packed and infused with
flavour. Now we're going to start by heating a
tablespoon of vegetable oil in your wok over a high heat. I've got
two sliced shallots here and i'm going to dust them with two
teaspoons of corn flour or cornstarch and add them to the wok.
Cook for about five to six minutes until browned and crispy,
then remove from the pan and place in a bowl.
Turn the heat down to medium and add another tablespoon of oil to the wok
now add in a teaspoon of shrimp paste, two cloves of minced garlic
and one red chilli that's been finely chopped.
Heat it for one minute until they start to release those amazing fragrances
then add in a teaspoon of fish sauce, a heaped tablespoon of brown sugar,
a teaspoon of tamarind paste, a tablespoon of tomato puree
and a tablespoon of dark soy sauce and heat it for a further minute.
Now we want to add that cooked rice to the wok.
We want to cook that over a high heat and keep moving the rice around with the
spatula so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the wok.
We're going to cook for about five minutes until that rice is fully heated
through.
Once the rice is hot push the rice over to the side of the wok
and crack an egg into the space. Fry the egg giving it a mix with the spatula
until the egg starts to cook and looks scrambled.
Now mix the egg into the rice.
Add in five chopped spring onions or scallions, a pinch of salt
and those crispy onions that we cooked earlier and mix it all
together.
Now turn down that heat to low and we're going to fry off some eggs to top the
rice. Fry as many eggs as the number of people you're cooking for.
Add two tablespoons of vegetable oil to a frying pan and heat until hot,
then fry the eggs until the white is crisp at the edges
and the yolk is still runny. Quick tip here you can baste the egg in the hot
oil to make it cook quicker.
Divide the rice between bowls and top each with a fried egg
then you're ready to serve.
And that's how you make Nasi Goreng or
Indonesian fried rice, it makes a fantastic meat-free meal or
if you wanted to add some meat in there you could always add in some cooked
chicken or pork. Really hope you enjoyed the recipe,
