Introduction
This is the famous Indonesian nasi goreng – a truly delectable one-meal rice dish that is made simply in a wok. Unlike the Chinese version of fried rice, it includes a combination of meat and prawns. Soy sauce and shrimp paste are also added, which is uniquely Indonesian. It is typical of the rich and flavourful food found in Indonesia.
