What’s the best thing to do if you have too much leftover rice? Fried Rice of course. In Indonesia or Malay, it is called “Nasi Goreng”. Nasi means Rice; Goreng means Fried.

I can feel the freshness of the veggies as I hear the crisp sound of the vegetables while eating. This healthy and unique salad is always a great choice during the summer.
