Veg Malaysian Fried Rice (Nasi Goreng Kampung)

Malaysian Fried Rice Veg

I first tried Malaysian Fried Rice at a small, bustling restaurant during a trip to Malysia, and I instantly fell in love with the bold flavors and the perfect balance of spice.

Traditionally, this dish is made with meat, but I wanted to recreate it in a vegetarian version that still packs all the deliciousness of the original. 

After a few experiments in my kitchen, I found the perfect blend of spices, veggies, and sauces to bring the street food experience home. If you love fried rice, you’re in for a treat!
