Is Verawaty's nasi goreng spicy?

No - Verawaty has developed a non-spicy version that still delivers the full, authentic flavour of traditional nasi goreng. Traditionally the dish has a mild heat from chilli, but she's carefully balanced the other ingredients - particularly her special sauce - so the depth of flavour is fully intact. It's a great option for families or anyone who loves Indonesian food but prefers to keep the heat low.

What makes this nasi goreng authentic?

The key is Verawaty's special sauce, made from dried shrimp (ebi), candlenuts, shallots, and garlic - a traditional Indonesian flavour base that most Western versions of nasi goreng leave out entirely. Combined with kecap manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce) and crispy fried shallots, it's the combination of these specific ingredients that makes nasi goreng taste like Indonesian street food rather than just seasoned fried rice.

A recipe made lovingly with her Mum.

Nasi Goreng is one of Indonesia's most loved street foods. Eaten at roadside stalls, in family kitchens, and at late-night markets across the archipelago. Verawaty's version starts with a special sauce she developed herself: a slow-cooked blend of dried shrimp, candlenuts, shallots, and garlic that becomes the flavour backbone of the whole dish. Without it, it's just fried rice. With it, it's the real thing.

This is a Chicken Nasi Goreng, made with fragrant kecap manis, light soy sauce, and a generous handful of crispy fried shallots on top of every pack. Verawaty spent time experimenting to get the balance right - including a carefully developed non-spicy version that still delivers the full depth of authentic nasi goreng. The recipe came together during her mum's recent visit, the two of them cooking side by side, and it shows. Some food just carries that kind of warmth.

Verawaty's Hainan Chicken Rice
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
So good
Delicious chicken rice. The chilli sauce and chicken rice is so good!
Add a little extra water when reheating the rice. I often have it with some bok choy on the side.
Portion size for this one isn't huge, it's more of a light meal size rather than a big dinner if you're really hungry.

Just‚Ä¶ WOW!
I love Verawaty‚Äôs food but I think this Hainan Chicken Rice goes above and beyond! The chicken is beautifully tender, and when everything is mixed together, each mouthful is jam packed with flavour! I had to order extra in my last order! Thank you so much, Verawaty!
