Nasi Goreng Kampung Simple

Fried rice is best cooked using overnight leftover rice from the fridge. Normally we do not use freshly cooked rice to make fried rice because it will end up clumped into pieces and taste mushy.

Last night, I had some leftover rice which the amount is just nice for two people, and kangkung in the fridge. So, I decided to make simple kampung style fried rice for dinner. The recipe is so easy that I only make use of the available ingredients in my kitchen.
