    Bali is one of my favourite places to holiday. Any opportunity we get we use to escape and unwind. In June we managed a quick getaway for a bit of winter sun and some yummy food. Anyone that's ever visited Bali would have eaten Nasi Goreng or Balinese fried rice. I make it at home sometimes but I rarely have day old rice.

    You see, stir fried rice needs to be made from cold rice or it tends to become gluggy and falls apart in the wok. When you use "fridge cold" rice the grains hold together and the dish is so much nicer.

    Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!

    Today I wanted Nasi Goreng but I didn't have any pre-cooked rice. I thought about just making regular steamed rice in the Thermomix to accompany my Balinese Chicken but I really wanted Nasi Goreng. I think I may be having "Bali holiday withdrawals."

    Anyway, I thought about other rice dishes I make, in which I cook the rice with the vegetables and stir through the sauce gently at the end. It had always worked well so I decided to improvise and make my own Thermomix Nasi Goreng.

    All the ingredients I used in the dish, are from recipes I collected in Bali whilst attending cooking classes. It was a success, my Nasi Goreng was delicious and super easy! Using the Thermomix meant I didn't have to grind the garlic, turmeric, ginger and chilli. I left out some of the harder to find ingredients such as galangal and candlenut but it tasted perfect. Best of all the recipe took just 25 minutes from start to finish. 20 minutes of that time I wasn't even in the kitchen!

    Something I love about this dish is that it's so simple! You can dress it up with more decadent ingredients such as pan-fried prawns or chicken or keep it simple. I like to add fried shallots, bean sprouts, and peanuts as a garnish for a bit of crunch.

    Hopefully making some Balinese meals satisfy me for a little longer. I really am starting to feel like it's time to wander off again. In June my husband and I hired motorbikes each and rode a circle right around the island. It was a huge adventure and now I'm looking forward to another one.

      Great recipe, however the ingredients showed ginger, but not in the method. It was too late before I realised that it should have been added. Just reading the page now I should have added it in with the garlic etc.
      I have never made anything like this but did feel it needed "something", I hope the ginger gives it the kick. I will be making it again for sure. We also added sweet chilli sauce on the plate.

      I made this today. Very easy to make and an interesting way to do the rice / veggies ???? I think I'll cut back on the cook time fir the rice next time though as I feel it was a little over cooked. I only used one chilli as I wheats make things too hot, but next time I think I'll use the 2 you recommend as it needed a little more zing. I also added sweet chilli sauce over the top once served. Definitely make again. Thanks.
