About Nasi goreng seafood

Nasi Goreng Seafood is a popular Indonesian-style fried rice dish that combines bold spices, aromatic rice, and a variety of seafood such as shrimp, squid, or fish. This dish is typically seasoned with soy sauce, garlic, shallots, chili, and a hint of sweetness from kecap manis, a sweet soy sauce. Nutritionally, it is a well-rounded meal, offering high-quality protein from the seafood and essential carbohydrates from rice. Depending on preparation, a serving of Nasi Goreng Seafood can provide around 400-600 calories, with notable amounts of selenium, iodine, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids from the seafood, while also offering some fiber if vegetables are included as toppings or side accompaniments.

Nasi Goreng Seafood can be a good source of protein, vitamin B12, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids from the seafood.
