Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Bavarian sausages — Use traditional Bavarian sausages such as bratwurst or weisswurst for an authentic flavor.
  • Sauerkraut — Rinse the sauerkraut before using to reduce its tanginess if desired.
  • Mustard — Choose a Bavarian-style mustard for a more authentic taste.
  • Soy sauce — Opt for a low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer a less salty dish.
  • Fresh parsley — Chop the parsley just before garnishing to retain its vibrant color and flavor.

Tips & Tricks

  • For added Bavarian flavor, serve the Nasi Goreng with a side of Bavarian pretzels.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of Bavarian sweet mustard to the dish.
  • Customize the dish by adding diced bell peppers or mushrooms for extra texture and flavor.
  • Leftover Nasi Goreng can be transformed into delicious fried rice balls by shaping the mixture into balls, coating them in breadcrumbs, and frying until golden brown.
  • Experiment with different types of Bavarian sausages to find your favorite flavor combination.
