Nasi Goreng
Nasi Goreng
Nasi goreng is Indonesian-style fried rice. The main flavor component of this dish comes from kecap manis, which is a sweet soy sauce. It is syrupy in consistency and not very salty. As the rice cooks in the kecap manis, it caramelizes. The fried rice is garnished with fried shallots, green onions, and is topped off with a fried egg.
