- In the same wok, add a bit more oil. Add the Nasi Paste you prepared earlier and stir fry for 10 to 20 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Next, add the chopped chicken to the wok and stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the beansprouts, and continue to stir fry until the beansprouts are al dente and the chicken is fully cooked.
- Now, add the cooked rice, Ketchup Manis, cooked shrimp, and sliced spring onions to the wok. Stir to combine everything well.
- Meanwhile, heat some oil in a separate saute pan. Crack an egg into the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until cooked to your preference. If you prefer a crispy edge, fry over a medium high heat.
- To serve, plate the Nasi Goreng and top with the fried egg. Serve hot.
Notes
