Nasi Goreng\ Indonesian Style Fried Rice

Nasi Goreng stands for fried rice in Indonesian and Malay. It is more like a national food of Indonesia.

One of my friend, Stefanno who is from Indonesia had given me this Nasi Goreng paste since a long time and it was just lying around my pantry. Today i just tried to prepare my usual fried rice in a Nasi Goreng Style, i just added it to the fried rice and it gave  a complete different taste to it. It was just awesome. Very much thanks to Stefanno.


If you like to try it too, you can pick it up from any Asian stores. Here is the picture of the one that he gave me.
