ナシゴレン

Nasi goreng is the Indonesian and Malay name for fried rice. The base preparation: pre-cooked rice stir-fried in a small amount of oil or margarine and seasoned with sweet soy sauce, shallots, garlic, ground shrimp paste, tamarind, and chilli. It is commonly served with additional ingredients — egg, chicken, prawns, vegetables. The dish is widely consumed across Maritime Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and southern Thailand, where it is part of daily meals, street-food culture, and festive cooking. Nasi goreng is distinguished from Chinese fried rice by its aromatic and smoky flavour from caramelised sweet soy sauce and powdered shrimp paste, and by being generally spicier. It is regarded as a national dish of Indonesia, and in Malaysia is officially recognised as part of the country's national culinary heritage.
