Jakarta Foodie Experience |
There's this called Nasi Goreng Gila or Crazy Fried Rice which I'm quite obsessed with. I'm not quite sure why is it called that way. But I guess it is because of the spiciness of the rice. I am a fan of spicy food and I super love the level of spiciness of the Nasi Goreng Gila.
Image above is the original Nasi Goreng Gila I had in Jakarta. It was topped with slices of beef meatballs if I'm not mistaken. I didn't ate that because I cannot eat beef. The rice itself is awesome. If you love spicy food, you gonna love this!
I actually searched for the recipe and I found that many ingredients are needed and most of is consists of very traditional spices. So I came across the Indofood's spicy fried rice paste and I think it will be quite similar.
I'm not sure where I can get this in Malaysia. I tried searching in Tesco but its not available.
I experimented the paste for 2 servings and it was good! Below are my own ingredients added in for the fried rice. :)
For 2-3 servings
Ingredients:
1 packet of Indofood Nasi Goreng Pedas paste5 long beans, cut to 1 inch
2 crabmeat sticks, sliced,
1 sausage, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
A handful of ikan bilis
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 eggs
2 or 3 servings of overnight white rice
Directions:
1. In a bowl, crack an egg into the rice and mix evenly and set aside. You can omit this step and just fry the egg as normal.2. In a wok or pan, heat up 2 tbsp of oil and fry the ikan bilis until it is crispy. Set aside in a small bowl.
3. Then, fry the remaining ingredients except the rice and paste. I scoop out in another bowl after it is done and then fry the rice.
4. Add in the paste and combine well. Fry in medium heat for about 3 to 5 minutes before serving. Mix in all the cooked ingredients and stir well.
Tadaaaaa!!!
**No salt is needed as the paste is salty enough.
