Indonesian Fried Rice (Nasi Goreng)

This is a truly authentic recipe. I grew up with nasi goring every couple of weeks but my mother used a packet of spices commonly available in Holland and many other countries now. I have made this numerous times, and my Mum loves this even more than her own!

really good! Thanks a lot! I used sambal oelek and added a bit more after since I love that sauce.

Fabulous meal! I followed the recipe exactly, except that I fried the eggs with soft yolks & placed on top of each serving, as well as adding red pepper, zucchini and baby bok choy for a few extra vegies. This is the 3rd different nasi goreng I've had this week & think it was the best. We'll definitely have this again.

Really excellent nasi goreng - except for leaving out the shrimp and making up the difference with more chicken I followed the recipe exactly. The combination of shrimp paste and the sweetness of the kecap manis and oyster sauce gives it the most beautiful and uniquely Indonesian fragance and flavour, while the the chilli bean sauce and pepper provide the perfect amount of warmth. A truly top recipe - thank you for posting!

Delicious. I'll have to admit I didn't have shrimp paste when I made it, but it was a great fried rice. Mixing the sesame oil with the egg instead of waiting until the end to add it mellows the flavor a little.

I really, really enjoyed this. I had to exclude both the shrimp and shrimp paste as my fiance won't even contemplate eating shellfish in any form, so it was left out. Would love to try it with the shrimp, so may cook it for my parents next time I'm down. Even without the shrimp, the flavours were really tasty, and the slowburning kick was not intense, which for me, was a big positive. Sprinkled toasted peanuts on top, which is how I've always eaten nasi goreng, and I know that my parents have a fried banana on theirs (not my choice) but a suggestion for people who like to eat bananas! Thanks so much for posting. : )

I've made this many times now and forgot to rate it. So easy to switch back and forth with what you have on hand. I serve black currants, chopped green apple and fresh raw bean sprouts on the side as well. Sounds odd I know, but I had it in a restaurant that way and loved it. One of my favorites, thanks Daydream

i used chili garlic sauce in place of sambal oleek since that's all i had . my husband was afraid it would be too salty when he saw all the things that i was putting in there. but it turned out delicious and not salty at all. shrimp paste does stink..but the flavor is very authentic asian and very delicious. will definatetly make this plenty of times. thanks for sharing!

Loved it! I omitted the shrimp & oyster sauce, upped the sambal oelek to 1.5 Tbsp, added a red pepper & some bean sprouts to make it my own. Served with peanut satay sauce. Thanks for posting!

Big hit with the family. I put in more rice than was called for, and kind of played around with the measurements a bit. Substituted dried shrimp paste with fish sauce as well; then I adjusted the seasonings with a little salt. I also did both alternatives of the egg (so I used 4 eggs in total). Another nice recipe to add to my fried rice collection. :)

This is pretty good: one chicken thigh per person seems to work well; and more shrimp (about 40g/serving). Note that if you've never used Sambal Oelek before (as I hadn't) it packs one Hell of a punch: use sparingly!

YUMBO!! The flavours in this are spot on...dont change a thing. We ate our's as a main this time but it would be a great addition to an Asian banquet table. Thanks for sharing!

This meal was fantastic b/c it was flavorful with just enough spice & heat. It’s well suited to be a main dish & that’s how we enjoyed it. We made as was specified except for adding fresh basil to the mix. Scrumptious! Only complaint was that the texture didn’t turn out just right. It was a little wet. So we’ll work on that & see what we need to do to improve that part. Don’t skip out on the shrimp paste. We found it in an Asian market (in Chinatown). I’m glad the author warned about its smell b/c I would have been suspect about using it. The smell is just rancid. Ten times worse than the smell of Thai fish sauce. The store clerk said she uses it in many different types of dishes & loves it. Well guess what? Now we’re going to use it too b/c the flavor was just authentic & yummy.
