What is Bawang Goreng?
Bawang Goreng means "fried onions" in Indonesian – thinly sliced shallots that are deep-fried in oil until golden brown. The result is incredibly crispy, aromatic fried onions that are used in almost every dish in Indonesian cuisine.
What is Bawang Goreng used for?
- On Nasi Goreng and Mie Goreng: The classic finish for fried rice and noodles
- On Bakso and Soto: As a crispy topping for soups
- On Gado-Gado: For texture and flavor
- As a snack: Pure or with Sambal
- In marinades: Crushed for extra aroma
Make your own or buy?
Making Bawang Goreng yourself is possible, but time-consuming – thinly slicing shallots, slowly frying them at a low temperature, and draining them on paper. The ready-made Bawang Goreng from a jar are of comparable quality and save a lot of time.
