Nasi goreng (fried rice)

Nasi goreng, literally meaning "fried rice" in Indonesian and Malay. Nasi goreng is a simple dish that is easily modified and can be prepared in as little as five minutes. It is so common, that every household has its own recipe. I love nasi goreng serve with a fried egg on top, together with pickles and some kerupuk (prawn crackers). Enjoy!
