Today, let's travel to Indonesia by cooking this very popular Indonesian-style fried rice or also known as Nasi Goreng.

So there it is, right?

Because lately, I am really inspired on the dishes that I miss from around the world.

I've been to Indonesia only once and I am really amazed on their culture and of course, on the food that is very delicious.

This Nasi Goreng, I remember that I ordered this on a fast food there which I forgot the name already

but it's very delicious because when you order, even on the food stalls in the middle of the mall.

It's really that they will cook it there, that's why it's really fresh.

So one of the secrets here is the sweet soy sauce which you can buy it on the grocery stores

but of course, I know that you are watching my videos, you want to fast forward it after watching it.

Just kidding, you will cook it already.

So how to make a sweet soy sauce at home?

You turn on the fire, get a small pan.

Get some soy sauce.

I'm just putting around half a cup of soy sauce and some brown sugar.

The brown sugar would be around 1 fourth cup.

Or if you want it sweeter, you may add more.

So you just bring this to a boil, so there.

Until it caramelizes a bit, until it becomes thick.

Of course, you can prepare a big batch of this and then just set it aside

so that whenever you crave for Nasi Goreng, you already have it.

While I'm boiling that, I will also fry an egg

because it's important that your Nasi Goreng has fried egg.

Okay, the technique for a nicely fried egg.

You heat the pan and the oil well first so that the sides of your egg would have bubbles.

And then you get your egg, you crack it first in a smaller bowl

and then season it with some salt.

So there, you fry it already.

You tilt it a bit like that.

And then you baste it.

Okay, very nice.

Let's do one more.

And then as you can see here, our sweet soy sauce is already thick.

So now, we are ready to cook our Nasi Goreng.

So the oil that I use to fry the egg.

You transfer it on your wok and then high flame.

And then I have here cooked rice.

We cook rice a while ago, if you have a day-old rice, it's better.

So you heat your wok first.

We saute some garlic.

Some onions.

And into this, some chicken breast that you just thinly sliced.

Season this with some sweet soy sauce for the taste.

And we normally put Indonesian shrimp paste that is called as Balchao.

I don't know if my pronunciation is correct.

But if you don't have that, you can always use our shrimp paste.

Let's just put it about 2 tablespoons.

And if you want it spicy, you just put it chopped chilies.

I want it spicy so I will put it a bit of chopped chilies, about 1 tablespoon.

And of course, fried rice is not fried rice if there is no egg.

Let's put some eggs.

3 eggs.

Okay, and our rice.

Okay, so remember.

What I am teaching to you is that every time we cook fried rice,

you need to break the rice.

That's where you can show your expertise as a cook.

Because if the rice is whole, it's not very passionate to cook fried rice.

Okay, sweet soy sauce.

And then of course, you need to taste it.

So good.

I love that the spiciness is coming out from the tip.

Okay, this looks good to me.

And the taste is just perfect.

I will turn off the fire already.

I will slice some leeks for plating.

I also have here some cucumber.

Just get some cucumber slices.

Your rice.

Some cucumber slices.

Tomatoes.

Put some chili on the side if you want it more spicy.

Fried egg.

And leeks.

So there you have it.

Your Nasi Goreng.

Oh my!

I feel like I want to taste it now.

You can also put some Adobong Mani on the side.

This Adobong Mani is not required but just to add texture.

And let's taste it.

So when you serve this, you may have sweet soy sauce on the side

if you want an added flavor.

And then you break the egg.

This is a complete meal.

So good.

You know that the spiciness is following but I want to put a bit more.

Sweet soy sauce.

So there it is, right?

Super good.

One more.

What are you waiting for?

Make this Nasi Goreng already.

Super good when you crave for fried rice and you want to travel a bit.

So there it is, it's Indonesian.

So try this, this will definitely make you extra happy.

Make your Nasi Goreng already and I'm going to see you all soon.

Thank you for watching!
