Nasi Goreng: Indonesian Fried Rice

The word Nasi Goreng literally means "fried rice," and this dish is one of the typical dishes of the rijsttafel, a festive menu of 15-25 dishes characteristic of Indonesian cuisine dating back to colonial times, gradually falling out of use due to its historical connotation.

It is actually a simple dish, a recovery dish, but complete, traditionally consumed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In fact, it is the Indonesian national dish, also offered to Barack Obama during his visit to Indonesia.

The base of Nasi Goreng is fried and spiced rice, usually accompanied by chicken, shrimp, and often vegetables. The rice is first steamed or boiled, and then sautéed with the other ingredients of nasi goreng, which can often vary by region. It is a dish also popular in Malaysia and Singapore, perfect for spice lovers and excellent for clearing out the fridge or using leftover rice or vegetables.
