Nasi Goreng – Indonesian style fried rice
Ingredients:
- 1 cup instant rice
- 2 Tbsp diced dried carrots
- 1 Tbsp diced dried onion
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp dried garlic
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 packets soy sauce
- 1 packet ketchup
- 1 Tbsp oil or 1 packet
At home:
Pack the dry ingredients in a quart freezer bag. Pack the packets with the bag.
Bring 1 cup water to a near boil, add to the freezer bag. Stir well, seal tightly and put in a cozy for 10 minutes.
Heat oil in your pot over medium heat, add cooked rice mixture, soy sauce and ketchup. Stir fry until ingredients are blended, about 2 or 3 minutes. You may need to raise your pot and or lower the heat to avoid burning – keep an eye on it!
Serves 1.
