When I looked at the photo I took, I realized the actual “nasi goreng” is mostly obstructed by the egg and bok choy. i probably should have used a plate instead (or a wider bowl).

First attempt at Nasi gorengApologies for bad plating. There is an image of just the rice below.
Nasi goreng is an extremely popular fried rice dish in Indonesia.
I really enjoyed this fried rice, it’s probably close to the best fried rice I’ve had, maybe tied with kimchi fried rice.
It also tastes very similar to the mi goreng instant noodles which makes sense since they use similar ingredients.
As for the recipe, I sort of scanned multiple recipes and then winged it so its a blur for me. I know i added onions, kecap manis, light soy sauce, garlic, oil, chicken thigh, chili peppers, shrimp paste, salt, chicken broth, white pepper and msg. Not 100% sure of the order tho because i don’t remember.
From what I gather nasi goreng is usually eaten with cucumbers and tomatoes for veggies but i had a lot of bok choi so i cooked bok choi separately and ate it with that instead.
I look forwards to exploring different fried rices in the future.
