Ingredients for 2 servings
Preparation
Step 1: Fry rice
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the cooked rice and sauté for about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir occasionally so that the grains separate from each other and can toast lightly.
Step 2: Add seasoning
Sprinkle the BALI KITCHEN Nasi Goreng spice mixture over the rice and mix everything thoroughly. The spices now develop their full aroma and ensure the typical taste of an authentic Nasi Goreng.
Step 3: Incorporate eggs
Push the rice to the side a little and add the eggs directly into the pan. Stir them briefly and then mix them with the seasoned rice. Fry everything together for another 2 minutes until the eggs are completely set.
Step 4: Prepare spring onions
Wash the spring onions and cut into fine rings. They provide freshness and a pleasant, slight spiciness.
Step 5: Arrange and refine
Divide the finished Nasi Goreng between two plates. Garnish with the spring onions and sprinkle the YAMAEI Nori Snack Matcha on top or serve separately.
Why the nori snack is added at the end
The YAMAEI Nori Snack Matcha is deliberately not cooked. The heat would cause it to lose its crispy consistency. As a topping, it remains pleasantly crunchy and provides an exciting contrast to the warm, spicy rice.
At the same time, the roasted seaweed aroma brings an additional flavor dimension to the dish and makes this Nasi Goreng something very special.

Add more vegetables
For additional freshness:
- Carrots
- Paprika
- Peas
- Bok choy
- corn
- Bean sprouts
Protein-rich variants
