Cooking Instructions
- In a large pan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil until hot but not smoking.
- Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them gently until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
- Add the mixed vegetables to the same pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still crisp.
- Add the cooked jasmine rice along with soy sauce, sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), and sesame oil. Stir thoroughly to mix all the ingredients well and evenly coat the rice.
- Fold the scrambled eggs back into the rice mixture along with the chopped green onions. Stir and cook everything together for an additional 2 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
- Plate the Indonesian fried rice and top it with the grilled chicken or beef skewers. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
You can substitute the mixed vegetables with any fresh or frozen vegetables you prefer. For a spicier version, add some chopped chili or a dash of sambal oelek. If you don’t have sweet soy sauce (kecap manis), mix regular soy sauce with a little brown sugar or honey as a replacement. Use day-old cooked rice for better texture and to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
