Nasi Goreng
Nasi Goreng is a popular South East Asian fried rice, particularly in Indonesia. The taste is just divine, refreshing and full of flavour, coming from the lemon grass and the shrimp paste. It can be had on its own or with some spicy sambal, which is made of shallots, galangal, garlic, lemon grass, shrimp paste, candlenuts and dry red chilies.
In fact this dish is prepared using this paste. It is generally served, accompanied with sliced cucumber, tomatoes and an omelette. Any leftover rice can be easily made into this exotic dish. So check for a step by step method with pictures to prepare it.
