Steps

  1. To prepare the homemade sweet soya sauce: In a saucepan- Add in the 1/4 Cup Dark Soya Sauce & 4 tbsps of Brown Sugar & let it boil & then simmer to cook for about 5-7 mins time until it nicely thickens to a syrup like consistency
  2. For the homemade Balchao Masala Paste or the Shrimps Paste- Refer to the pics down below: Recipe of the same, I’d share in my different recipe exclusively on this- being a bit elaborate one 👍🏻
  3. Cut & Chop, rest all other ingredients & veggies & seasonings/spices/sauces, readily available & handy to start on with the following steps to the rest of the final cooking process
  4. Heat up a frying pan over the medium flame: Add in some oil or butter (any), Break an egg or two to be poached- Sunny-side up…Set aside for sometime
  5. In another pan/wok on the medium flame: Add in the Butter & the Sesame Oil- Goes in the chopped onions, chopped 2G, red/green/yellow bell peppers (optional)- sauté until the raw smell goes off & they become quite softer & reduced in the initial volumes
  6. Now, goes in the vinegar, sweet soya sauce & the ketchups- give it all a nice mix- Then drop down a dollop of the shrimps paste or the Balchao Masala Paste (Homemade) & mix everything well together until nicely combined and well blended
  7. Once done: Turn off the flame & let it sit on the hot oven for the next few mins until, the poached eggs are done & slightly rested…Now, is the good time to dish out the same for the serving
  8. Transfer the fried rice to a serving plate/platter/bowl/tray- Garnish it your own way…Gently & very carefully, drop in the Poached Egg/s to it with its Sunny-side up & intact & we’re good to go with it….
  9. Enjoy your Traditional & the most popular easy homemade: NASI GORENG at the comfort of your own home & pocket, both
