In Indonesia, in all restaurants serving Indonesian food, you will find a classic dish: nasi goreng. The base is fried rice (nasi) sautéed with vegetables and some chicken or beef strips and will include, depending on the region, shrimps, a fried egg, and decorated with some fried dried onions. A variant, the mie goreng (mie – also spelled mi – meaning noodles) is prepared the same way but replacing rice with Chinese noodles. The mie goreng may look more greasy as the rice absorbs more oil
