🇮🇩 Indonesia recipe

Nasi Goreng

Indonesia's national dish, Nasi Goreng is far more than simple fried rice. It gets its signature dark color and sweet-savory depth from kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), while shallots, garlic, chili, and shrimp paste create layers of umami. Best made with day-old rice and served with a crispy fried egg, prawn crackers, and sliced cucumber.
