Ingredients

• 2 cups brown rice
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium carrot, grated
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 200 grams boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
• 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
• 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes
• 2 stalks spring onions, sliced
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 medium lime, cut into wedges

Directions

Step 1

Cook the brown rice according to package instructions and let it cool completely. This can be done a day in advance for best results.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick pan or a wok over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sliced red onion to the pan. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken strips. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and starts to brown.

Step 5

Push the chicken to one side of the pan and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the other side. Add the green beans, grated carrot, and diced red bell pepper. Stir-fry together for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6

Add the cooked brown rice to the pan, stirring well to combine the chicken and vegetables. Stir-fry for an additional 3-4 minutes to heat the rice through.

Step 7

Pour in the reduced-sodium soy sauce, kecap manis, and chili flakes. Stir everything well, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the sauces.

Step 8

Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the sliced spring onions and chopped cilantro.

Step 9

Serve the Nasi Goreng Kampung hot with lime wedges on the side for an added zesty flavor.
