Nasi Goreng
One of the most popular dishes in Malaysia. Very easy to prepare. We've tried Nasi Goreng in England but to our surprise the taste was completely different than here in Malaysia. Nasi Goreng is simply rice fried with some kind of meat or fish and vegetables and usually with a fried egg on top.
In a small pan add rice and 1 cup of water. Cook until water is absorbed by the rice.
In a meantime cut shallot into thin slices and fry it until crisp. Then add shrimp paste, garlic and chilli and fry for another 2 minutes.
NOTE: You can add a bit more soy sauce or a bit of fish sauce if you can't get the shrimp paste.
When fragrant add rice, soy sauce, sweet soy sauce and sugar, mix well and cook over high heat for about 5-6 minutes.
Cut chicken into small cubes and add to the pan with rice. Mix well and cook until meat is cooked.
On a separate frying pan prepare 2 eggs. You can make it fried or as an omelette, it's up to you.
Cut tomato and cucumber into slices.
Serve fried rice with an egg on top, sprinkled with sliced spring onion and cucumber with tomato on a side.
