Nasi Goreng

Nasi Goreng, Indonesia's iconic fried rice, is a staple late-night street food, with vendors found from narrow alleyways to major sidewalks. It is traditionally made with day-old rice, stir-fried with garlic, shallots, sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), and typically includes egg and chicken, or sometimes seafood. A serving of nasi goreng can contain around 18-23 grams of protein. The price for a plate from a street vendor can be as low as IDR 17,000. Nasi Goreng's enduring popularity is attributed to its customizable nature and affordability.
