Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large non-stick pan or wok. Pour in 1/2 the beaten egg to make a really thin omelette, then slide out. Repeat, then roll both omelettes up together and slice into ribbons.
  2. Heat another tbsp oil and cook half the chilli, the shallots, garlic, carrot and mushrooms for 4 minutes. Add the rice and cook for another 2 minutes. Mix the brown sugar with the soy and the chilli sauce until dissolved, then stir through the rice.
  3. Pile onto a serving dish and top with the omelette ribbons, cucumber and rest of the chilli. Drizzle with sesame oil to finish.

    Hmmn. The Nasi Goreng that my Malay friend's Mum used to make contained both prawns and chicken. I wonder if its one of those recipes that differs depending on a) what you've got available and b) which family is cooking it!

    This was absolutely lovely. I would chop everything up first and then start cooking. Served with the spicy prawncakes on this site. Gorgeous.

    This is one of my favourites that I always order from the takeaway but I must say this one tastes even better! I put double the amount of the sugar, soy and chilli sauce mix and i'll probably try chicken in it next time. I will defo be making this again and again! mmm!!

    Great guide for a great dish. Remember that it is you eating it and if you want different stuff in it --- put differnt stuff in it. cooking is all about the how you want it, recipies are only a guide to the way one group of people like it. No such thing as conform or be damned, experiment and have fun, isn't this the point of it all?????????????????????

    We used to cook this in Thailand with any leftovers but we used to add a fried egg on top and the yolk added extra "sauce".
