Discover the exotic flavors of Indonesian cuisine with tangy sambal oelek and sweet kecap manis sauces for a culinary adventure. Try easy one-pan nasi goreng, a healthier twist on Indonesian fried rice, bursting with mouthwatering taste that's simple to make.
Ingredients:
  • 300g (1 1/2 cups) brown rice
  • 3 green shallots, white part only, sliced, green part reserved
  • 1 tsp sambal oelek
  • 2 tsp chicken stock powder
  • 625ml (2 1/2 cups) boiling water
  • 250g chicken mince
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) kecap manis
  • 1 ½ tbs soy sauce
  • Olive oil spray
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 200g grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Prawn crackers, to serve (optional)
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan forced). 2. Spread the rice in a 30 x 20cm baking dish and top with the white part of the shallot, garlic, and sambal oelek. 3. Mix the stock powder in water, pour it over the rice, and gently stir. 4. Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 50 minutes.
  • In a bowl, mix chicken mince with 2 tsp of kecap manis and 2 tsp of soy sauce. Slice the remaining green shallot and keep it aside.
  • Uncover the dish gently. Stir in the remaining kecap manis and soy sauce until well combined. Place heaped teaspoons of chicken mixture over the rice, tucking them in slightly. Give the chicken mixture a light spray of oil. Create a 3cm gap on one short end of the dish by pushing the rice to the side. Pour the beaten egg into the gap. Bake without a cover for 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the egg has risen and fallen.
  • Whisk the egg into the rice mixture and gently fold in. Garnish with carrot, cucumber, tomato, and the remaining sliced green shallot. Enjoy right away, and add prawn crackers on the side if preferred.
