Treat your ingredients with care...
- Hungarian sausages — Use high-quality sausages with a good balance of spices. If Hungarian sausages are not available, you can substitute with any smoked or spicy sausages.
- Hungarian paprika — Opt for sweet or mild Hungarian paprika for a milder flavor. If you prefer a spicier kick, use hot Hungarian paprika instead.
- Sour cream — Choose full-fat sour cream for a creamy and rich flavor. If you prefer a lighter option, you can use Greek yogurt as a substitute.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of caraway seeds or smoked paprika to the dish.
- If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can replace the sausages with grilled tofu or tempeh.
- To make it more Hungarian, serve the Nasi Goreng with a side of pickles or sauerkraut.
- Customize the spiciness by adjusting the amount of Hungarian paprika to your taste.
- Leftover Nasi Goreng can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated for a quick and delicious meal.
