Village-Style Fried Rice

Village-Style Fried Rice, known as Nasi Goreng Kampung, is a beloved Indonesian breakfast dish often prepared by mothers for their children in rural areas. This traditional fried rice is made using simple, yet flavorful ingredients readily available in village kitchens.Cooked with day-old rice, it's stir-fried with a fragrant blend of garlic, shallots, and bird's eye chilies, giving it a distinctive spicy kick. The dish typically includes small, diced vegetables, leftover meats, or anchovies (ikan teri), adding a delightful variety of textures and flavors. Seasoned with a touch of sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) and a dash of salt, Nasi Goreng Kampung is often garnished with sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and crispy prawn crackers.
