Nasi Goreng or Goring, refers to the famous Hawker style Indonesian Fried Rice that really needs no introduction to an avid foodie or, to rice lovers across the globe. Most of the time the Nasi Goreng from outside contained eggs, fish sauce or some form of meat, meaning I had to forego the pleasure of eating this dish. Not any more! This hearty rice dish is full of crunchy vegetable goodness, nuts, tofu while strong on flavours with Kecap Manis, Chilli flakes, tamarind and Apple Cider Vinegar. I have used cooked long grain brown rice, which absorbs the gorgeous flavours and tastes great hot or cold!
