Why do you put a egg in rice? Seems weird… But hey, my kids loved it, so I guess that’s what matters.
This is a fantastic recipe! I can’t believe how easy it was to make and absolutely delicious. Will definitely make again!
I used leftover takeout rice, and it turned out great! The flavors are just amazing. Also, I added shrimp for more protein.
Nasi Goreng? More like Nasi Gone! My rice ended up a mushy mess, don’t know what I did wrong.
