Nasi Goreng Kampung (Village Fried Rice)
Nasi goreng kampung is a Malay-style fried rice. I particularly love this style of fried rice as it has a lot of texture from the crunch of the beans and the fried anchovies.
Ingredients 15
250 ml neutral-flavoured cooking oil
50 g dried anchovies (ikan bilis), rehydrated in room temperature water for 20 minutes, drained to remove excess salt
2 tbsp fish sauce
1 tsp caster sugar (superfine sugar), plus extra to taste
3 eggs
100 g snake beans, yard-long, finely chopped
500 g jasmine rice, cooked (see tip)
salt and white pepper, ground, to taste
10 g green bird’s eye chillies, sliced, plus extra to garnish
Paste
30 g garlic, peeled
60 g red Asian shallots, roughly chopped
20 g anchovy, dried, rehydrated in room temperature water for 20 minutes, drained to remove excess salt
1 tsp belacan (shrimp paste), toasted (see tip)
