Ingredients

• 3 cups white rice (preferably day-old)
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
• 2 large eggs
• 2 small, thinly sliced shallots
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 medium, cooked and shredded chicken breast
• 1 medium, diced carrot
• 100 grams, cut into 1-inch pieces green beans
• 1 small, sliced red chili (optional)
• 2 sliced spring onions
• 1 cut into wedges lime
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Coriander leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Ensure that your rice is cold and separated well in grains for the best texture. It's ideal to cook the rice a day in advance and refrigerate it overnight.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, scramble, and cook until they are just set. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the same pan. Add the sliced shallots and minced garlic; sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.

Step 4

Add the diced carrot, green beans, and sliced chili to the pan (if using). Stir-fry the vegetables for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the cooked, shredded chicken and continue cooking for another 2 minutes until the chicken is heated through.

Step 6

Push the mixture to one side of the pan and add the rice. Pour the gluten-free soy sauce over the rice and mix well, combining all ingredients.

Step 7

Stir in the scrambled eggs, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the rice.

Step 8

Season the fried rice with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Sprinkle the sliced spring onions on top and remove from heat.

Step 10

Garnish the nasi goreng with fresh coriander leaves and serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over just before eating.
