Seafood Nasi Goreng

 



Nasi Goreng is a popular Indonesian style Fried Rice. What sets this apart from chinese fried rice is the use of an Indonesian sweet soy sauce called Kecap Manis and Shrimp Paste. This is a quick dish that you can prepare in just minutes. It can be made using Seafood ,Chicken or vegetables. 
The secret to making any good Fried Rice is preparing your rice well in advance and cooling it completely before using. Using a days old rice from the fridge would be great. 
Do not worry if you cannot find Kecap Manis or do not like the strong flavour of the shrimp paste,you can still enjoy this wonderfully flavourful Nasi Goreng. For this recipe I have substituted the Shrimp Paste with Oyester Sauce and Fish Sauce. These have a mild flavour and do not have the pungent aroma as Shrimp Paste. And instead of Kecap manis I have used regular dark soy sauce and added a bit of honey for the sweetness. 
So go ahead try it out and do let me know how you enjoyed my version of the Indonesian Nasi Goreng.

It’s a simple recipe, you won’t need to hunt down any unusual ingredients, and it’s one of my favourite Indonesian foods – and I am sure you will love it too. Martabak with the traditional filling are chocolate sprinkle also loved by number of people. You should try to cook this recipe at home. It is best option for breakfast.
