Yes, I know Nasi Goreng is Indonesian, but it's one of the Southeast Asian dishes (along with Singaporean Chilli Crab and Vietnamese Phó) that have been embraced by New Caledonians (as well as classic French dishes like Coq au Vin, Escargot and Tarte Tatin).
Ingredients:
220g cooked and cooled long-grain rice
3 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed and finely chopped
2 tsp chilli powder
2 tsp dark soy sauce
pinch of palm sugar (or dark brown sugar)
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Method:
Heat the oil in a wok, add the onion, garlic, and chilli powder and fry for 1 minute. Now stir in the rice, soy sauce an sugar. Adjust the seasonings to taste and stir fry for about 5 minutes, or until heated through.
If the mixture becomes too dry during the cooking process add a little water (or even some beaten egg). Take off the heat, turn onto a large serving plate, garnish and bring to the table.
