Nasi Goreng is a savory dish featuring stir-fried rice seasoned with sweet soy sauce (Kecap Manis), chili peppers, garlic, onion, and shrimp paste. The dish is typically accompanied by salty chicken and topped with a fried egg and chopped scallions. The result is a flavorful, slightly spicy rice dish with a satisfying mix of textures from the various ingredients.

Nasi Goreng, a savory Indonesian fried rice dish, pairs well with a light-bodied Pinot Noir. The sautéed chicken, shrimp paste, and chili pepper create a complex flavor profile that complements the wine's red fruit notes and subtle earthiness. Alternatively, a crisp Marsanne white wine can balance the dish's rich flavors and provide a refreshing contrast to the spicy elements.
