Nasi Goreng

Nasi goreng, meaning “rice fried,” is an Indonesian classic and can be eaten morning, noon, and night! Our version is made with kecap manis, a sweet and thick soy sauce that is boldly full of flavor.

Tildalicious Tip: If you cannot get kecap manis, then replace with a mix of 2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 tablespoon soft brown sugar.
