Delicious Indonesian Fried Rice - Nasi Goreng Recipe 

It's so weird finding recipes for nasi goreng. Growing up, nasi goreng was just whatever leftovers we had fried with rice and kecap manis (sweet soy sauce). It was always something different everyday. Even when times were hard, she still managed to make nasi goreng with just garlic and onions and it was still delicious because it came from the heart . Thanks for the recipe Jeremy! Might see what it is like having nasi goreng from an actual recipe now hehe

Wwaaah! I'm indonesian but still watches this religiously lol 😂 The thing about nasi goreng is its so customizable, i suppose your comment will be flooded with comment such as 'not like that' 'its usually this instead of that' etc 🤣 But really, there is no right or wrong about nasi goreng--except it must be tasty!!! (And yours look so tasty, its more elaborate than what i usually make!)

The thing with nasi goreng is it must have that SMOKY flavor, and I don't think normal stove and non stick pan like teflon and the likes can make it right. I guess it can only be done right with Wok+high pressure stove. When I observe EACH and EVERY piece of the rice from nasi goreng that I bought from street vendor, it has that brownish burn, and most if not all have that. I'm amazed. No home cooking appliances can do that I think.

If you want a traditional Indonesian taste, try adding some toasted candle nut and pound it with the garlic. Or if you want to go crazier, pound 1 part toasted candle nut with 5 part garlic (make sure they're washed and perfectly dried), then submerge it with vegetable oil, then store it inside a closed jar. Let it ferment in room temperature for 3-4 days, don't forget to open the lid and stir it every day.

Thank you so much for the recipe Jeremy. as a Native Indonesian, I Highly Appreciate it. FYI, we didn't use Pepper ( Here we call it Paprika ), it's uncommon to find home cooking fried rice or Street food use it for Nasi Goreng. It's Expensive and we rarely buy it for everyday use. We usually use Chilli to make it hot or spicy. Shrimp Pasta ( we call it " Terasi Udang" or simply Terasi ) it's really bringing up the flavor of nasi goreng. One of my favorite ingredients for Nasi Goreng. Can't wait for another recipe of Fried rice. 😁😁

I thought you said 'ketchup mayonaise' and then i took a look on the recipe itself to find out that it was 'kecap manis'.

Onion made rice wet, Indonesian rarely use onion. We are just use shallot, garlic, egg and Chili to make nasi goreng. Very simple

Great thing about nasi goreng is you can put whatever left over on your fridge and fry it with rice! dont forget sambal is a must have for every living indonesia people.... most of it

Actually, thats not Indonesian fried rice, Indonesia fried rice using two kind of seasoning, white souce (garlic, red onion, paper) before pour the rice and red souce ( chili pepper, cayenne pepper, red onion, cendlenut) after the pour the rice, but the red seasoning must already stir-fry until fragrant and brownish. Love from Indonesia

Anyone else hear “ketchup mayonnaise”?

Most excellent recipe, thanks! The joys of living in the Netherlands...you discover ketjap manis and sambal, Indonesian soy sauce and hot sauce. Bon appétit!

Bell pepper is not really a typical Indonesian veggie, only find it in fancy supermarkets at high price. But other than that it is a good nasi goreng.

I always add cooked crumbled bacon, and serve it with a cool cucumber salad for a nice balance .

Thank you very much Jeremy for Nasi Goreng recipie. I'm Happy to be here. Thanks again. Keep it up😊😋👍

Fantastic! Part of my family heritage.

Well done for the restaurant quality dish. I totally agree that you should just throw in whatever you like in your nasi goreng. For your information though, in Surabaya we don't usually find shrimp paste/terasi in our nasi goreng in exception of Javanese nasi goreng. Capsicum has never been a classic, instead we find mung bean sprouts and you'll also find them in many nasi goreng(s) in every corner of the city. Bawang Bombay/ white onion is ok, but you might also want to use thinly sliced deep fried shallots for a greater Indonesian touch (I've never seen even 1 restaurant selling Javanese nasi goreng without those fried shallot topping), we people just love it and in my opinion, just them with plain white rice and a little salt is a meal XD. Restaurants are one this, the amazing part is you're likely to find street hawkers' selling nasi goreng (they're the type to just throw in flavours and if you ever find yourself in Indonesia, this I think is a must try). They're ALMOST LITERALLY EVERYWHERE. They would start with a scorching wok, throw in roughly sliced crushed garlic clove, and it would char immediately. A charred on one side (2 if you're lucky), and the rest white part will turn a bit yellowish. Good stuff. Their nasi goreng usually contains kecap manis, and unidentified tomato ketchup for the sauce (no shrimp paste). Topped the nasi goreng off with sliced roasted chicken, and their skins are just some salty goodness. You can have a plain telur dadar (omelette), telur mata sapi (pretty much sunny side up, but a lot of them would flip the egg regardless of the requested doneness as most of them will get it done right) as an incremental topping(money). No fried shallots on this one though. Oh yeah, and your egg was a perfect restaurant egg. Good work, +1 sub.

this channel deserved more subs!! amazing content and really descriptive video. love it

Love you a lot of your receipes Jeremy but as an indosian cook...... Two things: 1 there as many receipes for Nasi Gorend as there are islands in Indonesia, so there is not just one receipe. There are different versions. All the onces I know (about a dozen or so) have one ingredient missing here: sambal! (or fresh peppers). No Sambal no Nasi indonesians would say. So this is a sort of imitation of Nasi. Check out for nasi by indonesian cooks which are different and instructive. For me the order of cooking would be different too: small peaces of lard, onions, garlic and sambal, then stir in the eggs and finally the rice.

Looks so yummy🤗 mouth watering

That looks extremely delicious.

I BLOODY LOVE THIS CHANNEL!! AND YES IM SHOUTING!

Systematic, simple and the ingredient is available in any store 👍👍👍

Lee's request was on point! beautiful dish!

We rarely use that kind of onion (we call it Bombay Onion) because it's too expensive for us. Also the flavor is quite different with our common small white onion, the Bombay Onion flavor is more likely same with the shallots. Commonly, the onion is smashed til it's become a paste-like, not cut. Because the juice of the onion will come out.

Really good and simple recipe. Will try it out. Thank you. =)

You are the best I have yet to fail at making one of your recipes and I don’t even have a wok lol every recipe I have tried turns out delicious I’m excited to try this one for a breakfast 🥰

Lovely wok! May I know what brand is that and does it work on induction?

Love Jeremy’s bloopers 🤣🤣

Needs bigger watch. No seriously this i mouth watering.

so yummy.. so is Jeremy :)

Not a fan of peppers so I'd go for chillies, looks delicious and can imagine the aroma.

Seriously? A direct chopstick grab of Sambal to the mouth? I recall being of expedition in Indo and really struggling with the firey intensity of the local Sambal 😁

i laugh so hard when jeremy said sambal. idk why 😂😂

I wonder what chefs would say about a fried egg with a crispy bottom :). None of them would approve when it's on bread, but on nasi goreng with ketjap manis it's just great.

"my egg is ready, that's gonna go first"

I am from Indonesia ... Thank you Chef

You post delicious recipes from many Asian countries. Which is your country of origin? Thanks. Vanni

Dutch Indonesians also add Goreng Bawang (Fried onions), Krupuk (Prawn crackers) or Emping (cracker made from nuts), satay babi with peanut sauce on top of the egg. And in the nasi goreng my Indonesian mom and grandma add pork bacon or chicken in the nasi goreng.

the ingradiens its defferent with the original indonesian nasi goreng 😆 but thanks and respect to make this

It’s good but it’s missing MSG which all Chinese restaurants use. MSG is a must in my opinion.

For me when i make Nasi Goreng the rice i will cook with less water. So that the rice it not to brittle. And then let it cool and then you use your big spoon to separate it.

we don't usualy use red pepper in our nasi goreng. but, nasi goreng is a highly customizable dish. basicallu, u can put anything with rice then cook with it. and. voilla, u get one nasi goreng

Excellent thank you

If You put shrimp paste for Nasi Goreng .It is gonna be Nasi Goreng Jawa ( Indonesian Javanese Fried Rice). Usually we put chili,pak choy and bean sprout and chicken slice.

I love your videos Jeremy!

Amazing rice!

Hallo!Which rice you use?

nice explain great🌷

Delicious Fried rice Nasi Goreng

Looks delicious! Do you have a video for the sambal?

Yummy I can sure taste it and smell the aroma, home made Sambal recipe please Thank you

Magelangan next time, it will make it into another levels

Wld be great to see a video about specialist ingredients and where to get them in/nr London

this dish very delicious

Thnx for making one of our nationality food, cheers from bandung indonesia..

Why didn't you use the wok burner next to it? I thought you couldn't use a wok on a halogen top?

Go to indonesia ... Yu must

What about adding laos, ketumbar, djinten, sereh, purut just to mention a few?

Hello from indonesia ❤

You say you’ve got homemade Sambal from another recipe. Which recipe is this? I’d love to know How you made the Sambal

it could be better if you use high pressure stove, it will give some extra smokey flavour to your asian dish that you make. #professionalthings

Nasi Goreng🤤

0:37 on: Kids this is why if you want to dice an onion, DON'T do it that way. Keep your onion structure intact, basic engineering structure of a HALF sliced onion will be safer and better than a QUARTER sliced onion. Wrap up the onion you haven't used in gladwrap and put it in the fridge until later.

Om, bloody, nom!

Hey Jeremy have you considered going on either Great British Menu or Masterchef Professional ? And who’s Lee btw??

Looks good. Just one question, I've seen some people take out the egg after cooking then mix it in after the rice is done. Does the egg get overcooked if its in all that time?

this guy is great

Shallot is missing and important. Chili too. Fried shallot garnish too. Belacan should be added at very beginning while making the rumpah/sambal. Oh yeah.. no rumpah too. Bad recipe.

i don't see any kerupuk :D but i still wanna this recipe XD

How did you people hear "mayonnaise"? :D I clearly heard manis.. But yes i did hear the word "ketchup" since thats apparently how you pronounce "kecap".

I have used shrimp paste in every kind of cooking except fried rice.

Jenis beras apa yang digunakan? nasi basmati?

What is kecap manis ?

id prefer "the eggs ready" instead of "my eggs ready"

Got a good vegan replacement for shrimp paste, or just skip it? I eats the meats, but not all my family does.

Is there a vegetarian substitution for shrimp paste?

Can I use fish sauce instead of shrimp paste? I really can’t deal with belacan.

Everytime Adam Liaw uploads a dish, a few months later this guy uploads the same dish with the same ingredients. LMAO

Authentic Indonesian fried rice doesnt have red pepper. And no sesame oil.

We rarely use onion in nasi goreng we use garlic and red onion. Also for the secred ingredient dont forget the MSG haha

Where can I get shrimp paste in london?

Do you have a sambal recipe?

Don't watch at night! You'll peel yourself off the bed and start cooking

ya man

Malaysia hear Johor Bahru. Hear we there a lot of version of nasi goreng like - Nasi Goreng Kampung , Nasi Goreng Thai, Nasi Goreng USA, Nasi Goreng Sea Food and many more.

Im in love with ur accent n ur funny bloopers... Too cute...😁😁

Kechap manis is dark soy in molasses I think.

The recipe from the link isn't the same as the video, eg no onion in the recipe, onion in the video

I always cook the veg before adding rice. Have I been doing it wrong my whole life?

What is Sambal sauce?

Bell pepper has never been in indonesian nasi goreng tho.

Do you say ketchup mayonaise and touching like black soya?

And I don't have any idea why we (Indonesian) eat this meal at dinner time or breakfast, that's a heavy meal dude. Great recipe btw, its brings nasi goreng to the another level!

🙃🤗😊😚😙🤗

Ketchup again?

If Mark Wiens travels to London on a food tour, without visiting School of Wok, I'm unsubbing from him! Jeremy and a Mark Wiens special would be immense. I imagine it would go like this: Mark: "Oh … wow… wow (head tilts to his right, and eyeballs roll back in his head) WOW… the flavour…" Jeremy: "Pinchy pinchy twisty twisty"

nasi goreng terasi nih?
