Discover the deliciousness of our Nasi Goreng Geragau Legend :

• Udang Geragau (Fermented Shrimp) : These small shrimp are typically used fresh, dried, or slightly fermented. They impart a rich umami and briny flavor to the dish, making it deeply savory. When fried or bake, they become slightly crispy and aromatic, adding texture and taste.
• Rice : We are using Basmathi Rice for our Nasi Goreng Petai Legend.
• Aromatics : Garlic, shallots and chillies (especially bird eye's chillies) are sautéed to form a spicy and fragrant base.
• Sauces : Usually includes light soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce and sometimes sambal or belacan (shrimps paste) for and extra punch.
• Vegetables : You can add chopped long beans, carrots or cabbage.

Texture and Flavor : Intensely savory, slightly spicy and oceanic due to the natural saltiness of the shrimp. Has a rustic, home-cooked character that appeals to traditional tastes.
