Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams cooked jasmine rice
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 3 medium shallots
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 3 pieces red bird's eye chili
- 50 grams anchovies
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 100 grams sliced cucumber
- 1 medium tomato wedges
- 2 tablespoons fried shallots
- 1 stalk spring onion
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients by thinly slicing the shallots and garlic, and roughly chopping the red bird's eye chili.
In a large wok or frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat.
Add the anchovies and fry until they are golden brown and crispy, then remove and set aside.
In the same oil, sauté the shallots, garlic, and chilies until aromatic, around 2-3 minutes.
Push the sautéed ingredients to the side of the pan, and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble them lightly and cook until just set.
Add the cooked jasmine rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps with a spatula.
Pour the kecap manis over the rice, and add salt and ground white pepper.
Stir everything together, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the sauce, and continue to fry, stirring regularly for about 5 minutes.
Add the crispy fried anchovies back into the pan and toss to mix.
Serve the nasi goreng kampung hot, garnished with sliced cucumber, tomato wedges, fried shallots, and chopped spring onion.
