I love Indonesian food. I find the flavours similar to that of Thai cuisine yet distinct and wonderful in its own way. Nasi goreng is a simple fried rice that you can often find on the streets of Indonesia, but it is also really easy to make at home. What I love about it is the rich flavour from the sweet soy sauce and also the fun fixings that are placed around the plate—pickles, shrimp crackers, fried shallots, fried egg, fresh veggies...the options are endless! There are lots of variations on nasi goreng, and it's a great way to use up any end bits of vegetables or leftover meat. Let me know what you like on your nasi goreng!

  • I made this last week, following your recipe. It's my first try at cooking south asian food and it was delicious. Thank you so much!
  • I'm Indonesian and you make your nasi goreng in the authentic way. I really love your channel. And you pronounce every indonesian word exactly how they should be pronounce. Maybe you should try to make another indonesian recipes like "gado-gado".

    I'm from the Netherlands, and this dish is so common here too. Love it. When I was a child, I only knew ketjap as a soy sauce. I had not seen any other soy sauces yet.You should make Indosian penaut sauce !
  • @rhumball
    Wow. I think you're the first non Indonesian i see on youtube who make pretty authentic Nasi Goreng. Im impressed. 👍 special thumbs up for your presentation. That's how it is normally served at the restaurants. You even included fried shallots. Kerupuk yes, kecap manis yes, terasi yessssss. My must have toppings: 1. Fried egg. 2. Cucumber.

    I just cooked this dish earlier. Quick tip: if you cant get a hold of shrimp paste, or if you just dont like the funky smell of it, you can use a shrimp broth cube instead. I use the Knorr brand. It's sooo good. gives u that umami flavor just as well.
  • I love how on point is your pronounciation of 'krupuk' and 'terasi'. Love from Indonesia ❤️
  • @moonbalancedd
    Quick tip: Make the sambal yourself. I've tried making it with sambal oelek but the taste is not right at all. It's more of a condiment. It made the weirdest nasi goreng i've ever had. Just make a paste out of red chilis, shallots and garlic, add some salt and brown sugar (+ lemongrass if you have it). That sambal will give the right type of taste and spice to nasi goreng.

    I love Thai food too. I gained some kilos when I was back from my visit to Thailand a long time ago because I kept on earing and ate all on my plates. The taste of Indonesian and Thai somewhat similar that's why I fell in love with Thai food!
  • @kirstyfynn1372
    Listen here Pai, I tried this Nasi Goreng and it is FANTASTIC 😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥!!! It’s so good! I added bacon, cabbage, shredded carrots sweet peas topped with cucumber, fresh lemon and micro herbs to mine. This is elite honestly. Thank you my whole family LOVES this.!
  • @suriaputra1992
    Try cooking the krupuk in the microwave :P I am Indonesian and my dad used to do this all the time since i was a kid. IT WORKS!!!! just put a few at a time for like 10 to 15 seconds. You will see... if it needs more time. The uncooked part will appear more transparent than the cooked one
  • @eriquerique
    FINALLY!!! A foreigner who cooks nasi goreng right!!!! This is pretty authentic!! Thank you Pai!!
  • @kemaldjakman183
    As an Indonesian, I was expecting that your "Indonesian Fried Rice" will differ at least a little bit with mine. Because you are a Thai person. But at the end, I have to say that you really made an authentic Indonesian Fried Rice. You also explain clearly the use of each ingredient. Hats off to you! 👍
  • @globetrotter701
    My favorite Nasi Goreng comes with prawn crackers, beef satay skewer, fried chicken 🍗, grilled prawns, pickled salad, tomatoes 🦐, fried egg 🍳 and the rice is topped with caramelized fried onions. Yum, yum, yum! 😋 Thanks Pailin for showing us how to cook this delicious recipe.😉🙏
  • @weamalgassim
    I tried Indonesian food for the first time last week in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and wow how flavorful was the food. Since then, I have been watching every single indonesian recipe on youtube. Those who has never tried Indonesian food before, try this recipe, you will love it.
  • @yulirindyawati
    Hi Pai, great to see you put this recipe up on your youtube channel. As an Indonesian who live in Australia, a food lover, and a caterer you only missed one ingredient in your nasi goreng paste that is chilli. Indonesians love spicy. Chilli is used for almost of the Indonesian recipe. One more thing, kecap manis is Indonesian secret ingredient and cannot be substituted. I love your videos and inspired me in cooking Thai food.
  • @RolandoNispiros
    Thank you for reminding me of this dish. When I was in Indonesia, I would try Nasi goreng where ever I went. Now I will make it myself thanks to your video.
  • @choiallson3955
