Nasi Goreng

If I’m in Indonesia, I have to have this at least once a day. You can eat it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It’s cheap and it tastes sensational.

1 tbsp Vegetable oil

2 Chicken thighs

Step 2

In the same wok, add the remaining oil, then sauté the shallots, garlic, ginger and chilli until fragrant (about 1–2 minutes). If using shrimp paste, stir it in and cook for another 30 seconds.

Increase the heat to high, add the rice, and toss to coat it in the aromatic base.
