FRIED****Nasi Goreng

By Unblond1

Great for both!

04/10/15 - I've added the bacon and amped up the veggies and calculated this as 5 servings, which it really is. This is the absolute limit of veggies Dan will tolerate so don't add them all. Don't increase the sauce ingredients, it makes it gloopy. A lot of the recipes call for a fried egg served on top - I bet I'd love that!
09/04/16 - leftovers topped with a fried egg and drizzled with a bit more sesame oil and kecap manis - yummy

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 tbsp coconut or olive oil
