Veggie Nasi Goreng
I first had this at a friend’s house on a cold winter’s Friday night. She knocked it up in what seemed like minutes and we sat in her kitchen gossiping over forkfuls of fragrant, spicy and satisfying deliciousness.
Nasi Goreng means ‘fried rice’ in Indonesian but it’s so much more than that.
For all Nuush recipes and cooking and salad dressings in general we advise that you use extra virgin olive oil for its significant health benefits.

Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 fat garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 large red chilli finely chopped
- 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
- 1/4 small Chinese or Savoy cabbage, shredded, or use pak choi
- a few baby corn
- handful of cashew nuts
- 250g cooked brown rice*
- 2 tablespoon of fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons of ketjap manis
- 2 free range organic eggs
- sweet chilli sauce, to serve
*Rice needs to be freshly cooked and used straight away, as pre-cooked rice is a food poisoning risk unless you buy it in a sealed pouch.
Note: An easy way to cook fluffy brown rice is to use a microwave. Cover the rice to 1cm above rice level with boiling water ad microwave for 14-16 mins. Works well in a shallower dish.
Nuush clients: Please apply the portion sizes stated in your account and divide the recipe so that you make only as much you need.
