Treat your ingredients with care...

• Rice — Use leftover cooked rice for best results. Cold rice works great as it won't stick together.
• Mixed vegetables — Feel free to use your favorite vegetables or any leftover veggies you have on hand.
• Soy sauce — Adjust the amount of soy sauce according to your taste preference. Add more if you prefer a stronger flavor.
• Chili sauce — Add chili sauce for an extra kick of heat, or omit it if you prefer a milder version.
• Green onions — Reserve some chopped green onions for garnishing to add a fresh and vibrant touch to the dish.

Tips & Tricks

• For a more authentic Indonesian flavor, you can add a teaspoon of shrimp paste (terasi) while sautéing the onions and garlic.
• Customize your Nasi Goreng by adding cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for extra protein.
• To make it spicier, add chopped fresh chili peppers or a dash of hot sauce.
• Serve with a side of prawn crackers or a fried egg for a complete fast food experience.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.

Serving advice

Serve the Nasi Goreng hot in individual bowls or takeout containers. Top with additional chopped green onions for a pop of color. For an extra touch, serve with a wedge of lime on the side for squeezing over the rice.

Presentation advice

To enhance the fast food appeal, serve the Nasi Goreng in a paper-lined takeout box or wrap it in a food-grade paper with the top folded down. This will give it an authentic fast food look and make it easy to enjoy on the go.
