Method

Omelettes: Beat eggs lightly with milk, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 7

Add meat, saute until tender and season with pepper and salt.
Step 8

Add cabbage, capsicums, shallots and hot rice. Toss with a fork to mix well.

Add half the omelette strips, sauteed prawns, soy sauce and bean sprouts.
Step 10

Heat thoroughly, stirring continually.

Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

You can use steak, pork or chicken.

Rice is best cooked best the day before, and can be warmed up in microwave when needed. I recommend long-grain rice.

What is traditionally served with nasi goreng?

Nasi goreng is often served topped with a fried egg, with cucumber and tomato on the side – the vegies balance the fried rice with a little freshness and crispness. This recipe has swapped the fried eggs for omelette, but you can make fried eggs if you prefer.
