2 tbsp soy sauce
2 cups long-grain rice
4 cups (1L) chicken stock

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200c/ 180c fan. Heat oil in a large oven-proof skillet/pan over medium heat. Add pork mince and cook for 10 minutes or until well-browned.
Add onion and garlic, and cook for 3 minutes or until softened.
Add the Nasi Goreng Paste, stir until fragrant.
Add the rice and stir until well combined. Pour in the stock & soy sauce, bring to a boil.
Remove from heat and place in the oven with a lid on. Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and make 4 indentations into the rice. Break an egg into each indentation.
Place the lid back on and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the egg whites are just cooked. Tip -Check at 8 minutes and cook for a further 2 minutes if needed.
Top with spring onion, cucumber, tomatoes, peanuts, crispy shallots (if using), and coriander. Serve immediately.
Hits & tips
Eggs - If you don't feel confident enough to cook the eggs as directed, omit step 6 and bake the rice for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave it to stand for 10 minutes with the lid still on. While it's resting, poach 4 eggs separately and serve as per step 8, placing the poached eggs on top.
Easy swaps - Swap the pork mince for chicken mince or even diced chicken thigh or breast for a slightly different flavour and texture in the dish.
Add the heat - If you like a kick of heat, add 1-2 finely chopped small red chillies when serving.
Serving suggestion - Serve this Nasi Goreng tray bake as is or add an extra salad on the side. Any type of lettuce leaf would be fine.
Storage - Store in the fridge for 3-4 days. Leftovers need to be reheated until piping hot. The cooked rice dish can be frozen without the fresh salad.
