Nasi Goreng Kampung Simple

Fried rice is best cooked using overnight leftover rice from the fridge. Normally I 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, 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.
