Origins of Nasi Goreng
Nasi Goreng literally translates to “Fried Rice”. It is well loved by many Singaporeans since Singapore is a well diverse and multi-racial country. Nasi Goreng is a savoury rice dish incorporating vegetables and meats. The recipe is simple to prepare but tough to perfect, especially considering the numerous ingredients and condiments available.
