Easy Nasi Goreng
- Easy recipes
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp (5 mL) hot red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 carrot, coarsely grated
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) ketjap manis
- 1 tsp (5 mL) fish sauce (optional)
- 3 cloves garlic
- 4 cups (1 L) cooked long-grain rice
- 1 cup (250 mL) English cucumber, finely chopped
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) lime juice
Preparation
Heat half the oil in a non-stick skillet set over medium heat. Break the eggs into a small bowl and whisk in red pepper flakes and salt. Pour into pan and cook, covered, for 3 to 4 minutes or until firmly set. Using a spatula, roll egg up pinwheel-style and remove from pan. Cut into thin strips and reserve.
Add remaining oil, onion and carrot to pan. Cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Stir in ketjap manis, fish sauce (if using) and garlic. Stir in rice, cucumber, green onions, lime juice and reserved egg strips. Cook, tossing, until heated through.
Makes 4 servings.
Tip: Ketjap manis is an Indonesian soy sauce that is often sold in delis and grocery stores that cater to a Dutch clientele. A good substitute for ketjap manis in this recipe is to combine 2 tbsp (30 mL) regular soy sauce with 1/2 tsp (2 mL) molasses.
