What is Nasi Goreng?
Nasi Goreng simply means "fried rice" in Indonesian – and is also the national dish of Indonesia. It is made from fried rice with Kecap Manis (sweet soy sauce), sambal, egg, and various spices.
Ingredients for 2 people
- 300 g pre-cooked rice (from the day before)
- 2 tbsp Kecap Manis (sweet Indonesian soy sauce)

- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 shallot
- Oil for frying
- Kecap Asin (salty soy sauce) to taste
- Kerupuk (crackers) for serving
Preparation
Step 1: Finely chop the garlic and shallot and sauté in oil until translucent.
Step 2: Add the pre-cooked rice and fry over high heat until slightly crispy.
Step 3: Stir in Kecap Manis, Sambal Oelek, and Kecap Asin. Mix everything well.
Step 4: Fry fried eggs in a separate pan and serve on top of the Nasi Goreng.
Step 5: Garnish with Kerupuk, cucumber slices, and tomato wedges.
The secret: Kecap Manis
The most important ingredient in Nasi Goreng is Kecap Manis – the sweet, thick Indonesian soy sauce. It gives the dish its typical dark color and distinctive flavor.
