Not Your Usual Nasi Goreng

Ha! Why am I calling this Not Your Usual Nasi Goreng (fried rice)?

Usually, we'll just use cooked white rice to make fried rice. THIS recipe requires you to ditch the rice cooker for a heavy pan and cook the rice yourself. Still, it is as easy as other recipes I've shared, I promise.

In this recipe, I used shrimps but you can use squid, chicken, meat, veggie or whatever you can find in your fridge. Season accordingly.

Ingredients for 2 servings

• 1 cup uncooked, washed long grain rice

• 2 cups chicken broth (I cheated & used 2 cups water + 1/2 tbsp chicken seasoning)

• 1 tbsp salted butter

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 10-12 peeled, deveined shrimps

• 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

• 1 tbsp chopped parsley

• 1 tsp salt & pepper

Steps

1) Season shrimps with salt & pepper. Put aside. 

2) Melt butter in heavy pan, stir in rice. Add chicken broth. Let boil & once all liquid absorbed, cover the pan. Cook on low heat for 15 minutes.

3) Heat olive oil in a wok. Cook shrimps before adding in cooked rice, cheese & parsley. Mix well.

P.s. Stir rice occassionally after 8 minutes of covering the pan (after liquid all absorbed).

... and that's why this is Not Your Ordinary Nasi Goreng Udang ;)
