About

This is my vegetarian version of the famous nasi goreng - a tasty Indonesian rice dish. I have retained the traditional fried eggs, but you can easily omit them if you want a lighter meal. As with the recipe, the rice should be cooked several hours in advance, or even the night before.

Method

First cook your rice at least 2 hours ahead or the night before. Allow it to cool thoroughly by spreading it on a baking sheet. When it is cool, cover and refrigerate. When the rice is completely cold, proceed with the rest of the recipe. P
In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the sesame oil and a little salt. Set aside.
