Ingredients

• 4 cups Cooked jasmine rice
• 200 grams Firm tofu
• 3 tablespoons Kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium Shallots, finely chopped
• 1 Red chili, thinly sliced (optional)
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 cup Green beans, chopped
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 2 Eggs
• 2 Spring onions, chopped
• 2 pieces Lime wedges
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fried shallots (for garnish)
• 4 pieces Cucumber slices (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients: Cut the tofu into small cubes, mince the garlic, chop the shallots, and prepare all the vegetables as listed.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and fry until golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same wok, add the remaining vegetable oil. Sauté the minced garlic, chopped shallots, and sliced red chili (if using) until fragrant and golden, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Add the julienned carrots, chopped green beans, and frozen peas. Stir-fry the vegetables for 3-4 minutes until tender but still crisp.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the wok and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until just set, then mix with the vegetables.

Step 6

Add the cooked jasmine rice to the wok. Break up any clumps of rice with a spatula as you stir-fry it with the vegetables.

Step 7

Pour in the kecap manis and soy sauce. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir everything together thoroughly so the rice is evenly coated and heated through.

Step 8

Return the fried tofu cubes to the wok and mix gently to combine.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove the wok from the heat.

Step 10

Serve the Nasi Goreng on plates. Garnish with chopped spring onions and fried shallots. Add a lime wedge on each plate for squeezing over the rice, and serve with optional cucumber slices on the side for freshness.
