Why Nasi Goreng deserves more attention

Nasi Goreng rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The deeply spiced with galangal and lemongrass complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using coconut milk correctly takes real skill.

Indonesian cuisine spans over 17,000 islands with dramatically different regional traditions. I encountered it first in a family feast table and that context helped me understand it properly. es teh manis iced sweet tea is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Nasi Goreng is the dish to start with.
