Nothing says “home” like the smell of nasi goreng sizzling in the pan. This beloved Malaysian fried rice is simple, spicy, and endlessly comforting — and it’s one of those dishes that tastes even better the next day.
Here’s how to make Nasi Goreng Kampung (Village-Style Fried Rice) using your non-stick pan, in just minutes.
Why a Non-Stick Pan is Perfect for Fried Rice
Rice tends to clump and stick to metal pans, especially if it’s cold. A non-stick ceramic surface ensures every grain fries evenly without breaking apart.
Ella’s ceramic cookware is ideal for this because it’s made for all stovetops, including induction. It also uses eco-friendly, toxin-free coatings that are safe and easy to clean.
Nasi Goreng Kampung Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked rice (preferably leftover, cold rice)
- 1 cup fried anchovies (ikan bilis)
- 2 cloves garlic (chopped)
- 5 bird’s eye chilies (chopped)
- 1 cup kangkung (water spinach), chopped
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 egg
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Heat oil in your non-stick pan. Add garlic and chilies; sauté until fragrant.
