Nasi goreng with chicken and fried egg

Asian Indonesian Chicken Rice Weeknight Quick Comfort food

Nasi goreng is one of those dishes everyone knows but not everyone gets right at home. The secret is high heat and the right tools. With a good saucepan or frying pan that distributes heat quickly and evenly, you can fry the rice dry and crispy without it sticking. Preferably use day-old rice, as it's drier and fries much better. Great for weeknights, but also perfect for surprising friends.

Cook the rice according to the package instructions and let it cool. Using day-old rice? Even better.
Mix the ketjap manis, sambal, oyster sauce and sesame oil in a small bowl. That way the sauce is ready before you start stir-frying.
Heat a splash of sunflower oil over high heat in your pan. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for 30 seconds until it smells like an Asian restaurant.
Add the chicken cubes and cook them for 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Remove and set aside on a plate.
In the same pan, stir-fry the carrot and bell pepper for 2 minutes. Then add the spring onions and leek and stir-fry everything for another minute.
Push the vegetables to the edge of the pan. Add a little oil in the center and cook the beaten eggs briefly, like scrambled eggs but still slightly creamy.
Add the rice and press it down well against the bottom. Let it cook undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes so it develops a crispy bottom. Then stir everything through.
Add the chicken back in and pour the sauce over. Stir-fry well so every grain of rice is nicely coated. Taste and add extra sambal or ketjap to suit your preference.
In a separate pan, fry one egg with crispy edges per person. Serve the nasi in deep plates and place the fried egg on top. Sprinkle with fried shallots and, if desired, some fresh cilantro.

Cooking mode Prevents your screen from going to sleep

The key to good nasi goreng is a pan that gets really hot and holds that heat. A thick-bottomed pan with a wide base gives you the space to fry all the rice properly without it steaming instead of frying. That's how you get that crispy bite that makes this dish so delicious.

Want to vary it? Replace the chicken with shrimp or tofu, or add a handful of frozen peas for extra color. This recipe is also delicious with a splash of fish sauce for extra depth. Put it on the table and enjoy together, because nasi goreng always tastes better when you share it.
