Rendang Fried Rice Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
• 1/2 cup leftover rendang meat, shredded or use ready-made rendang from the store (optional)
• 2 tbsp Rendang Spices Cap Rempah Minang
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 shallots, thinly sliced
• 1-2 red chilies, chopped (optional, for heat)
• 1 egg (optional, for topping)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sweet soy sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fried shallots, for garnish
• Sliced cucumbers and tomatoes, for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice:
   • Make sure the rice is cold and separated into individual grains. If using freshly cooked rice, allow it to cool completely before frying.
2. Sauté the Aromatics:
   • Heat 2 tbsp of cooking oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat.
   • Add the minced garlic, sliced shallots, and red chilies. Sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the Rendang:
   • Stir in the shredded rendang meat and 2 tbsp of the Rendang Spices Cap Rempah Minang. Fry for another 2 minutes until the meat is heated and well-coated with the sauce.
4. Fry the Rice:
   • Add the cooked rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Stir well to combine the rice with the rendang meat and sauce.
   • Add the soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Continue to stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until the rice is well-coated and heated through.
5. Cook the Egg (Optional):
   • In a separate small pan, fry an egg sunny-side up or as desired. This will be used to top the fried rice later.
6. Garnish and Serve:
   • Serve the nasi goreng rendang on a plate, topped with the fried egg.
   • Garnish with fried shallots and serve with sliced cucumbers and tomatoes on the side.
