Simple Fried Rice

Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice) is a very common food in Malaysia and there are a lot of varieties depending on the ingredients and method of cooking. It can be served anytime and for any occassion. I love playing with different flavours and ingredients. However, this particular one has always been in demand from my family because it suits everyone taste - crispy Ikan Bilis (Malaysian version of anchovies), no egg, no vegetable and most of all not too spicy/hot i.e it just simply tasteful. This is also great when you are in a hurry and it can be prepared & cooked in just 10 minutes!

We had this for breakfast today and here is the simple recipe to share with those who have not tried this version:
