How long does Nasi Goreng (Chicken & Egg) keep in the fridge?

Nasi Goreng (Chicken & Egg) keeps 3 to 4 days refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat on the stove or microwave until piping hot before serving. We do not recommend freezing tempered dishes since the spices dull after thaw.

Can I make Nasi Goreng (Chicken & Egg) ahead of time?

Yes. Nasi Goreng (Chicken & Egg) is a great make-ahead dish. Cook it fully, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate. Most thai chicken dishes taste better the next day once the masala has had time to meld.

What can I serve with Nasi Goreng (Chicken & Egg)?

Classic pairings include standalone. For a complete thai thali, add a dal, a dry sabzi, papad, and a sweet ending.
