Nasi Goreng with Chilli Sambal
Nasi goreng, the national dish of Indonesia, started out as a simple breakfast dish cooked to use up leftover rice. It’s now served in nearly every warung (family restaurant) across the country with a fried egg, sliced cucumber, chilli sambal and prawn crackers. It’s flavoured with a paste containing shallots, chilli, garlic and tamarind resulting in a delicious savoury dish full of umami - the 5th taste after salty, bitter, sour and sweet.

Delicious meal kit and tofu worked really well in place of the chicken. Really tasty dish would make again.
I had wanted to repeat the experience of Nasi Goreng in Indonesia , so was a disappointed to find that the shrimp paste was not part of the kit; but the whole kit worked fine and everyone enjoyed it
We're really pleased to hear that this meal went down well, but sorry you were disappointed by the lack of shrimp paste in the recipe. One of the key principles of our recipe writing is that all of our ingredients are very easily accessible, so you would be able to find everything you need in a small, local supermarket. Therefore, we decided not to include shrimp paste in our recipe, as this is a more specialist ingredient. Of course, we always encourage you to freestyle and adapt the recipe to
Think this might be my favourite yet! Really delicious, especially the sambal. The paste is really easy to make, nicer than anything from a jar or packet, and you can choose how much sugar you wish to add. We loved this and have even ordered again. Now just need my dad to try it and rate for authenticity!
It's great to hear how much you loved this flavoursome Recipe kit - we hope your dad enjoys it just as much!
25/5/22 - this was an amazing fried rice dish and would highly recommend. Will do again!
Great job, Andy - nasi goreng is so delicious, we're not surprised that you're keen to cook this one again!
Used Potabello Mushrooms and it all worked a treat. The box was hidden in a drawer so a little past its best but certainly hot enough so no loss of flavour. And seconds for tomorrow. Just lovely
Yum - looks like a perfect Nasi Goreng to us! Great job!
Very tasty, will definitely make this again
Yum - that looks like a really delicious nasi goreng, Laura! We're really pleased to hear how much you enjoyed it!
Simply delicious. Super easy and incredibly tasty. Would definitely have again.
And such neat presentation too! This looks great, Philip - we're so happy to hear how much you enjoyed it. Happy spicing!
Really enjoyed this one, nicely spiced and really quick and easy to make.
Looks like a perfect Nasi Goreng, Rachel - great job!
This fried rice was amazing! It was full of flavor and it felt like we just ordered takeout! The Chili Sambal added so much flavor to the dish and it was nice that it gave us 6 large helpings.
Who needs takeaways, ey? We're so happy to hear how much you enjoyed this kit, Michele!
