Heat a generous drizzle of vegetable oil in a medium deep frypan over high heat. Cook the bacon, stirring, for 4-5 mins until crisp.
Step 2 — Warm rice
Massage the packet of rice to loosen. Add the rice and half the nasi goreng paste* (see Make it milder) to the bacon and cook, stirring, for 2-3 mins until combined and warmed through.
Step 3 — Add spinach
Add the spinach and 1 tsp sugar to the rice mixture and cook, stirring, for 1-2 mins until the spinach is wilted. Remove the pan from the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper.
Step 4 — Fry eggs
Meanwhile, if adding the fried eggs, heat a drizzle of vegetable oil in a medium frypan over medium heat. Crack 2 eggs into the pan and cook for 3-4 mins until just set or cooked to your liking. Remove the pan from the heat.
Step 5 — Serve up
Coarsely tear the coriander leaves, discarding the stems. Divide the rice mixture among bowls and top with the eggs. Scatter over the fried shallots and coriander. Enjoy!
Step 6 — Make it milder
Nasi goreng paste has a chilli kick. If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount to taste.
