Nasi goreng fried rice is a popular dish which is served in many locations around the world. “Nasi goreng” actually means “fried rice” in Indonesian. It is especially popular in parts of Asia. It is served for breakfast in the Pacific regions and lunch in other Asian countries. In Malaysia, nasi goreng is one of their famous types of fried rice which is similar in taste to Indonesian fried rice. There are a lot of variations to making fried rice, but the most unique I’ve experienced is the nasi gaoreng of Malaysia. This dish has a spicy and curry like taste, and the aroma is truly fantastic. You can pair this rice with chicken, beef, or lamb. It can be served as a main dish, as well.
