INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare Kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
Combine the soy sauce and brown sugar in a small deep saucepot over medium heat. Bring to a boil and let the mixture reduce to a consistency that resembles maple syrup or runny honey. It will boil over if the flame is high so maintain a low flame and simmer to a thick consistency. Remember, the mixture will thicken more while it cools. Use as instructed in the recipe.
¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup brown sugar
Prepare the chicken
Heat oil in a thick-bottomed wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, coat the chicken with sweet soy sauce and add to the wok.
Add the chilled rice, breaking up any clumps with a spatula or wooden spoon, and stir-fry for a few minutes until heated through. Add the sweet soy sauce and fold in the rice taking care not to overdo and break the grains. Toss until all the rice becomes brown colour as it gets heated through the sweet soy sauce.
Stir in the prepared chicken and toss everything one last time. Transfer Nasi Goreng to a serving platter.
Prepare fried eggs as per your liking.
