You see, Original Nasi Goreng is an Indonesian a stir fried rice dish typically spiced with kecap manis (a sweet style soy sauce). It’s very similar to fried rice but uses a different technique combined with a spicier sauce. The eggs can be mixed into fried rice or fried in another pan, then stirred in. All it takes is a little onion or shallot, eggs, chili, garlic, veggies, and your secret sauce! I like to think of Nasi Goreng as spicy Indonesian street food served right up, hot and delicious! A perfect way to utilize ANY leftovers too.

In this Nasi Goreng, we will be utilizing all the carrots, eggs, and leftover ham/sausage you got! Since I’m using chicken sausage, this Nasi Goreng will be a variation of Nasi goreng ayam and Nasi goreng santri. Dude, just google all the variations and you’ll know what i mean!
The Carrot will serve as our “rice,” then we will throw in all the extra’s veggies you want. Which makes this dish naturally lower in carbs but higher in nutrient content! Eggs are mixed right in along with our very own gluten free sweet tamari soy sauce (copying the kecap manis). It’s super simple! It also makes this dish paleo friendly, protein packed, and oh so easy! Ahhh.. see, it’s EGGCELLENT!
