there is no single recipe for nasi goreng, as there are various types. the basic ingredients generally include: cooked rice, "kecap manis" (sweet soy sauce), salt, garlic, chilli pepper, fried onions, carrot, egg and chicken. slices of cucumber, tomato, and lettuce are included for garnishing. eggs can be either mixed into fried rice in the beginning as scrambled eggs or served separately as fried eggs. in general, "acar" – pickle made from vinegar preserved cucumber, carrot, shallots, and small chilli pepper – and "krupuk" – deep fried prawn crackers – are provided as side dishs.
