nasi goreng kampung

Indonesia · Southeast Asia

Short description: This fried rice style is rustic and savory, often leaning on chile, aromatics, anchovies, egg, and quick wok heat.
Ingredients: Cooked rice fried with chile paste, shallots, garlic, egg, anchovies, greens, and sweet soy sauce.
Cultural note: The word kampung signals a village-style approach rather than one strict formula, so household and stall versions vary widely.
Common misconception: It is not defined by a single garnish; the flavor base and everyday fried-rice format matter more.
