Directions

Step 1

Cook 2 cups of Jasmine rice according to the package instructions using 2.5 cups of water. Allow the rice to cool completely, ideally overnight in the fridge for best texture.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat.

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and sliced red chili to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced carrot and red bell pepper to the pan, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the sliced chicken breast pieces and stir-fry until cooked through and golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Once the chicken is cooked, combine it with the vegetables and stir in the cooled rice.

Step 7

Increase the heat to high, then add 3 tablespoons of gluten-free soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of kecap manis, and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce. Mix well to ensure the rice is evenly coated.

Step 8

Add the halved cherry tomatoes and stir-fry everything together for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 9

Stir in the chopped spring onions and season the rice with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.

Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the nasi goreng to serving plates.
