1 cup shredded cabbage

pinch of salt

3 bird's eye chilies
1/4 tsp terasi
1/4 tsp salt

Heat 3 Tb oil in wok over medium heat. Pour in beaten eggs, cook thoroughly and set aside. Using the same wok, add the 3 TB oil and fry the shallots until transparent, follow by the garlic. Fry until fragrant. Add the rice in and stir to get rid of the lumps. Add the soy sauce and continuously stir about 1 minute. Add the vegetable and increase to high heat. Fry for another 3 minute or until the veggies are a bit tender (Add the shrimp here if using, cook the shrimp until pink, do not overcook) Lower the heat to medium again then add the terasi paste, adjust the taste then add the scrambled eggs, mix well and serve immediately, garnish with the cucumber slices or the big shrimp if using any.

Chef's Note: The cooked rice for all Nasi Goreng must be cold to make sure it doesn't stick together during the frying. To make the smoky taste on these kind of dishes, Increasing and decreasing the heat play a big role here.
