Indonesian Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice) with chicken
Fried Rice or Nasi Goreng is Indonesia's most popular dish which could be served as breakfast, lunch, and dinner - basically any time of the day. The main ingredients are rice and spices. Vegetables and flesh are optionally added according to one's taste. There are a lot of variations and you will probably get different tastes from different chefs using the same ingredients! 😉
It is believed that this dish was invented to make use of leftover rice which people didn't want to throw away. And I do believe that the most delicious fried rice I've ever had was made out of leftover rice, by my father.
On this recipe, however, I am using freshly cooked rice. I find basmati rice the most suitable rice to be used for this dish since the texture is a bit dry and loose.
