Ingredients

• 300 g Basmati long grain rice
• Salt
• 2 shallots
• 2 cloves garlic
• 10 g ginger root
• 1 handful Coriander (approx. 5 g)
• 1 red chili
• 100 g green beans
• 80 g pineapple
• 4 tbsp sweet soy sauce (ketjap manis)
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 1 tbsp tamarind paste
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 Mini Cucumber
• 1 Organic Lime
• 4 eggs
• Pepper
• 4 tbsp fried onions (approx. 10 g)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Wash the rice until the water runs clear. Cook the rice in salted water according to package instructions for 30–35 minutes until al dente; then drain and let it drip.

2. 2.

   Meanwhile, peel and roughly chop the shallots, garlic, and ginger. Wash the coriander, shake it dry, and pluck the leaves; finely chop the stems with the shallots, garlic, and ginger in a mini chopper to form a paste.

3. 3.

   Halve, deseed, wash, and finely slice the chili. Clean and wash the green beans and cut them into larger pieces or halve lengthwise as desired. Blanch for 3-4 minutes in boiling salted water, shock in cold water, and drain. Cut the pineapple into 1-2 cm pieces. Mix sweet soy sauce with fish sauce and tamarind paste.

4. 4.

   Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large pan. Add the shallot mixture and half of the chili rings and sauté over medium heat for about 3 minutes, stirring. Add the green beans and pineapple and cook for another 2 minutes. Mix in the rice and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Pour in the tamarind mixture, mix everything well, and remove the wok or pan from the heat.

5. 5.

   Clean, wash, and slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin strips. Rinse the lime, pat it dry, and cut it into wedges.

6. 6.

   Heat the remaining oil in another pan. Crack the eggs into it and fry them as sunny-side up for 3-4 minutes, salting and peppering as you go.

7. 7.

   Season the cooked rice to taste, spread it on deep plates, and sprinkle with the remaining chili rings. Place cucumber slices and lime wedges alongside, sprinkle the Nasi Goreng with fried onions and coriander leaves, and serve with a fried egg each.
