Nasi Goreng is one of the best-known Indonesian fried rice dish.
Traditionally, the recipe is made from previous days leftover rice, stir fried with a flavouring paste and topped with fried egg omelette and served with fried prawn crackers. A complete meal in itself.
To make this recipe vegetarian, we have added tofu as a substitute to omelette and served it with lime flavoured nachos and fresh veggie salad. Plus we have added some indian flavours.
So,  take a break from the usual pulav and try something different. Try out this recipe once and we are sure you will love it and want to make it more often.
