Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Jasmine rice
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Shallots
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 pieces Red chili
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 cup Cabbage
- 0.5 cup Frozen peas
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoons Sweet soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 pieces Lime
Instructions
Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions. Once done, spread it out on a baking sheet to cool, ensuring it doesn't clump together. Ideally, use day-old rice for best results.
Finely slice the shallots and garlic cloves. De-seed and finely chop the red chili. Peel and dice the carrot into small cubes. Thinly slice the cabbage and chop the green onions.
In a large wok or pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic, and red chili and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the diced carrot, cabbage, and peas to the pan. Stir fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
Increase the heat to high and add the cooked rice to the pan. Stir quickly to combine with the vegetables.
Pour in the soy sauce and sweet soy sauce over the rice. Season with salt and black pepper, stirring constantly to ensure the rice doesn't stick and is well-coated.
Continue to stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, making sure the rice is heated through and slightly crisp.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions.
Serve the nasi goreng hot, garnished with wedges of lime for squeezing over the top.
