Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chinese sausages — If you can't find Chinese sausages, you can substitute with regular sausages like smoked sausage or chorizo for a different flavor profile.
- Bok choy — Make sure to wash the bok choy thoroughly and separate the leaves from the stems before chopping. The stems may require slightly longer cooking time than the leaves.
Tips & Tricks
- Use day-old cooked rice for the best texture in fried rice.
- Make sure to have all the ingredients prepped and ready before starting the stir-frying process, as it cooks quickly.
- For added flavor, you can add a dash of Chinese five-spice powder or white pepper to the dish.
- Customize your Chinese-style Nasi Goreng by adding other ingredients like shrimp, chicken, or diced vegetables.
- To achieve the classic "wok hei" flavor, cook the dish on high heat and continuously toss the ingredients in the wok.
Serving advice
Serve the Chinese-style Nasi Goreng hot as a main dish. It can be enjoyed on its own or accompanied by a side of pickled vegetables or a Chinese-style soup.
Presentation advice
