Notes

Rice - Cook with chicken stock for extra flavour. Swap for mee goreng noodles!
Make Nasi Goreng Gila - Instead of serving this dish on plain white rice, stir fry the rice along with the main ingredients. It’s a great way to use up excess cooked rice.
Make it Spicier - Add more fresh chili, extra sambal, gochujang paste, rayu sesame chilli oil or shichimi togarashi.
Make it Vegetarian - Leave out the chicken and hot dog sausage. Swap the fish sauce and oyster sauce for a vegetarian version.
Switch up the Proteins - Swap for firm or fried tofu, shrimp / prawns of thinly sliced pork. Serve with a hard boiled egg per person.
Garnishes - Top with crispy fried shallots, crushed peanuts, spring onion or fresh coriander / cilantro.
