Instructions
- Make the scrambled eggs, set them aside.
- Peel, wash and chop the carrot. Steam or boil until they are cooked. I microwave by putting the carrot in a small microwave-proof bowl with 2 tablespoons of water and cook at high power for about 3-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Trim, wash and cut the green beans into small pieces. Place them in a microwave-proof bowl with 2 tablespoons of water and cook at high power for about 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan/ a wok then fry the onion until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add the minced garlic and chilli flakes. Fry further for about 2 minutes until they release the aroma.
- Put the seafood in the onion mix, give it a stir and cook for about 5 minutes at high heat. If you use raw seafood, you cook longer (about 10-12 minutes or until the seafood is cooked).
- Then add the carrots, green beans and salt. Stir well and keep mixing as you continue cooking at high heat for about 2 minutes.
- Add the rice and sweet soy sauce. Mix well and keep stirring as you cook. It takes approximately 5-7 minutes. Taste the flavour. You may want to add salt or sweet soy sauce to your taste. Once everything is mixed and hot, your nasi goreng seafood is ready.
Notes
- I recommend Basmati rice or long-grain rice as they have a nice texture for this nasi goreng. The grains are not sticky.
- I use the frozen cooked seafood mix from the supermarket so I fully thaw the seafood before cooking. You can use raw seafood mix, or just use any type of seafood you like. Prawns, mussels, and cuttlefish can be the options.
- Sambal Goreng Terasi gives a depth flavour to your Nasi Goreng. But you can substitute it with the following chilli options.
- You can use dried chilli flakes, red chilli powder or fresh bird’s eye chillies. If you use the latter, 2 chillies should be more than enough unless you prefer spicier and mince the chillies into a paste.
- If you want, you can replace the green beans with green peas.
