NASI GORENG (INDONESIAN FRIED RICE)
Recipe video above. A traditional Indonesian fried rice recipe which is often served with a fried egg for a protein boost to make it a meal, but I usually serve it as a side dish. The magic ingredient in this is kecap manis, a sweet soy sauce which is available in large supermarkets and of course in Asian stores. Feel free to swap out the chicken for other proteins! Shrimp/prawns, tofu, beef and pork are all great alternatives.

Steps:
- Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Spread onto a baking sheet, and refrigerate 2 hours until cold.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Pour eggs into hot skillet. Cook until the eggs begin to set, lifting up the edges of the set eggs to allow the uncooked egg to contact the hot pan, about 1 minute. Flip omelet in one piece and cook until fully set, about 30 seconds. Slice omelet into 1/2 inch strips.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Stir in the onion, leek, garlic, and chile peppers. Cook, stirring, until onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken, prawns, coriander, and cumin, mixing well. Cook and stir for approximately 5 minutes.
- Mix in the cold rice, sweet soy sauce, and omelet strips; cook until shrimp are bright pink and chicken is no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Put the rice in a medium heavy-based saucepan and add 520ml water. Quickly bring to the boil, stir once and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 mins. Uncover, fluff up with a fork and spread over a tray. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Pour in the beaten egg and, as it begins to cook, use a spatula to bring large flakes of cooked egg into the middle of the omelette. Continue to cook like this for a couple of mins, then leave the rest of the egg to set completely. Flip the omelette over and transfer to a plate to cool before cutting it into long, thin shreds.
- Drop the beans into a pan of boiling salted water and cook for 3 mins. Drain, refresh under cold water and set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil in a wok or large, deep frying pan until almost smoking. Add the chicken and prawns, and stir-fry for 1 min. Tip in the shallots, garlic, chillies and carrots, and stir-fry for a further 2 mins until the carrot is just tender. Add the spice paste and stir-fry for 1 min more. Add the tomato purée, kecap manis, cooked rice and green beans, and stir-fry over a high heat for 2 mins. Add the soy sauce, spring onions and shredded omelette, and toss together.
- Spoon the nasi goreng onto warmed plates. Overlap the cucumber and tomato on the side of each plate, sprinkle over the crispy fried onions and serve with prawn crackers.

Steps:
- If cooking the rice, prepare according to package instructions. Cool and set aside. (This can be done up to day ahead).
- Mix the soy sauce, fish sauce, sambal oelek and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl and set near the stove. Place all the remaining ingredients by the stove as well. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a wok or large deep skillet over high heat. Add the eggs and cook, swirling the pan but not stirring the eggs, so the eggs spread out to make a flat, set omelet, about 2 minutes. Remove the omelet from the wok to the work surface, cool, and slice into strips.
- Add 1 more tablespoon oil to the pan and, when hot, add the shrimp and cook, stirring, until just pink, about 3 minutes. Remove from the wok and chop coarsely. Wipe out any accumulated juices in the wok.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the shallots, garlic, brown sugar and coriander and cook until the shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Add the rice along with the soy sauce mixture and stir to coat and combine. Increase the heat to medium-high and continue stir-frying until the rice is heated through and lightly toasted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and egg strips and cook until just heated through. Transfer to a platter and top with the drained scallions and carrots. Serve with more sambal oelek and hoisin, as desired.
