Ingredients

4 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled
1 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp ground cumin
6 garlic cloves, minced
4 shallots, minced
2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
3 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 lemongrass stalk, finely chopped
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup frozen peas and corn
4 scallions, sliced
1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1

Heat 3 tbsp coconut oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until shimmering.
2

Add 6 minced garlic cloves, 4 minced shallots, and 2 tsp minced fresh ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3

Sprinkle in 1 tsp ground turmeric and 1/2 tsp ground cumin. Stir to coat the aromatics, about 30 seconds.
4

Push the aromatics to the side. Pour the 2 beaten large eggs into the center and scramble lightly. Once partially cooked, break into pieces and mix with the aromatics.
5

Add 4 cups cooked jasmine rice, chilled, breaking up any clumps. Stir-fry continuously for 3-4 minutes to coat the rice evenly with the turmeric and spices.
6

Pour in 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Add 1 finely chopped lemongrass stalk and 1 cup frozen peas and corn. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes more.
7

Season with 1/4 tsp sea salt to taste. Remove from heat and garnish with 4 sliced scallions. Serve immediately.

Questions

Can I make Nasi Kuning Goreng gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 2 tbsp soy sauce. Swap the soy-based sauce for tamari or coconut aminos. Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Nasi Kuning Goreng keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.

Can I halve or double Nasi Kuning Goreng?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
