How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté the onion and garlic until they turn a rich golden hue, releasing their fragrant aroma. Add the julienned red pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Stir in the cooked rice, ensuring each grain is well-coated with the aromatic mixture. Pour in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and chili paste, stirring continuously until the rice is evenly infused with the flavors.
- Return the shrimp and reserved chicken to the pan, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
- Create a well in the center of the rice mixture, crack an egg into it, and scramble until it's almost set. Gently fold the egg into the rice, ensuring even distribution.
- Serve the Nasi Goreng hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro and accompanied by lemon slices for a zesty finish.
