Nasi Goreng Recipe
Nasi Goreng is a classic Indonesian fried rice that’s savory, slightly sweet, and full of flavor. It’s best made with cold, day-old rice so the grains stay separate and fry up nicely.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked cold rice
2 tablespoons oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken, shrimp, or both, optional
1 egg
1 to 2 tablespoons kecap manis, or sweet soy sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup mixed vegetables, optional
Sliced green onions, for garnish
Fried egg, for topping, optional
Instructions
If you are using freshly cooked rice, spread it out and let it cool first. Cold rice works best because it fries better and does not clump together.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and garlic, then stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
If you are using chicken or shrimp, add it now and cook until fully done.
Push everything to one side of the pan, crack in the egg, and scramble it lightly.
Add the rice and break up any clumps with a spatula.
Pour in the kecap manis and soy sauce, then season with salt and black pepper.
Stir-fry everything together for 2 to 3 minutes until the rice is evenly coated and heated through.
Add vegetables if you want, and cook for another minute.
Serve hot with green onions on top and a fried egg if desired.
Serving idea
Serve it with cucumber slices, tomato wedges, or crispy crackers for a more authentic feel.
Easy tip
If you do not have kecap manis, you can mix regular soy sauce with a little brown sugar for a similar sweet-savory taste.
Use short, simple sentences.
Keep the tone casual and friendly.
Say “fried rice” if you want it to feel more familiar for a USA audience.
Mention “day-old rice” instead of “cold rice” if you want it to sound more natural in American English.
Keep the recipe fast and easy, because American viewers usually like clear, quick steps.
Use words like savory, slightly sweet, and one-pan meal.
If you want it to sound more authentic, say “kecap manis” once, then explain it as sweet soy sauce.
For a YouTube video, add a hook like: “This Indonesian fried rice is packed with flavor and takes just minutes to make.”
Here’s a better USA-style line you can use:
“Nasi Goreng is an Indonesian fried rice that’s savory, slightly sweet, and incredibly satisfying.”
And a more natural outro:
“Serve it hot with a fried egg on top, and enjoy this easy homemade version of a classic Indonesian favorite.”
