Serving guide

Choose your portion size.

  1. THE NICEST RICE

    Rinse the rice and place in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 225ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary and fluff up with a fork.

  2. PERKY PAK CHOI

    Separate the leaves of the trimmed pak choi and rinse well. Finely slice the stems and set aside. Slice the green, leafy parts in half lengthways, keeping them separate from the stems.

  3. FRY AWAY

    Place a pan or wok over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced Onion and the sliced pak choi stems. Fry for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the grated Garlic, ½ the chopped Chilli (to taste), and the spring onion whites. Fry for 1 minute, until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the sliced Cabbage and fry for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.

  4. OPTIONAL EGG

    Place a nonstick pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Crack in 1 egg and fry until cooked through to your preference. We like the yolk runny and the white just set! Remove from the heat and season.

  5. NASI GORENG MOMENT

    To the pot of cooked rice, add the cooked Cabbage mix, the pak choi leaves, the pickled peppers, the soy sauce, the sesame oil, seasoning and 5ml of a sweetener of choice. Mix until fully combined and the pak choi leaves have slightly wilted.

  6. A DINNER DELIGHT!

    Bowl up a heaping helping of the nasi goreng. Top with the fried egg (if using). Sprinkle over the spring Onion greens, the lime zest, the remaining chopped Chilli (to taste) and the crispy onions. Serve with a lime wedge on the side. Beautiful, Chef!
