Classic Nasi Goreng Indonesian Fried Rice

Every Asian country seems to have its version of fried rice and Indonesia has its own
signature dish. I can’t think of another dish that is more widely eaten in the country or
better known by tourists. What I love about Indonesia’s version is its depth of flavors;
it’s salty and sweet rather than other, more bland interpretations. A substantial meal in
itself, Classic Nasi Goreng is savory and hearty, making it a simple but addictive dish.
Here, I’m providing an easy and traditional recipe that can be combined with any of
your favorite meat or seafood, to create a sumptuous all-in-one meal.
