My Husband made this Nasi Goreng tonight and boy it was fantastic. He didn't even mess it up. He did a great job.

As an Indonesian I've seen alot of variation of Indonesian Fried Rice, and Yours are truly amazing even you put the shrimp paste in it. PERFECT

[jerronyee]

Marrion you cook it like an indonesian, im amazed thats exactly how i love my nasi goreng is

[jamesdean]

I made this today and it was sooo good, exactly what I wanted in an asian fried rice. Its so simple to cook with so little ingredients. I topped my dish with chopped spring onions which really complimented and enhanced the taste of the dark sweet sauce and the shrimp paste.

[darktatsujin]

that looks so indonesian, but shallot is often used instead of onion for indonesian nasi goreng though.. but I think anyone can make their own style nasi goreng, and what I love about this recipe is using shrimp paste, adding more spiciness would be great with this recipe. good job.

She said it was **HER** version. So take a seat ingredient police

I don't know if you're aware, Marion, of the good you're doing to many people. Great recipes, classics, to make entire families happy at the dinner table.
You're the person who taught me exactly how to cook jasmine rice for fried rice. Basic key stuff. Your contribution deserves an award. Really.
Thank you so so much.

The lovely thing about nasi goreng is: it's so versatile 💕 there's no wrong way to make it! Even Indonesians have a million version of them lol.
Thanks marion, now i'm hungry and know what to cook! XOXO

If we Indonesian wants Indonesian food more recognized all over the world, we need to realize that there will be some modifications. Italian food is so different in US, pizza is different in Indonesia... Please appreciate if other give some appreciation to our food.

I've cooked nasi goreng like this before, it's one of my favorite meals to cook. best part is, you can use up old bits of capsicum, celery, or spring onions you find in the fridge. it may not be traditional, but they all taste very nice when fried in the soy sauce. waste not, want not.

Hi Marion! I just need to say that this recipe is really awesome!!! I made it yesterday. Myself and my wife loved this dish. You really made our day!!! Thank you so much!!! Will definitely go through all your videos and start cooking!!

[Sundrop]

I made it right after watching her video, with a few tweaks of course, added sambal belachan, bok choy, and homegrown laksa leaves (coz that’s what I had) and it was soooo good! The key thing to note is sometimes not really what that goes in (if you can’t find or don’t like something just substitute with something else) but when they go in and how, how long to cook, how high the heat is, searing your protein etc...and that is the strength of Marion’s style of cooking and once you get it, your dishes will be as good as hers. 😋😍👍

My mother in law makes this dodgy Dutch variant of Nasi (rice, ham, egg, spring onion, nothing else) so I'm really going to looking forward to this.

[LaMaitresse]

Try making chopped or ground garlic mixed with candlenuts and put in oil for a premix for fried rice. You would never go back to not using them

[komangoct]

Wow. U just make the rice like indonesian tipical rice (not sticky rice). That was amazing... U really great on cooking... Love that 👍
Also u put friend onion n cucumber (but actualy indonesian style of cucumber is not just cucumber. U must soak the cucumber on vinegar with feesh onion, little bit augar n salt). But i think ur way just amazing as well... That was indonesian style... Proud

[lindalettman]

My Dad, from Indonesia, would make this and we would go bananas when it was served up for dinner. I’m going to try your recipe!

[shreyachanda]

Hi Marion, thank you so much for this wonderful recipe. I made it twice, once with shrimp paste and once without. They tasted different and honestly I loved the shrimp paste one. ❤️❤️

We Dutch all practically grew up on the Indonesian kitchen.

Indonesia was one's (until very recently) a Dutch colony for many centuries and most of the Indonesian dishes are known for probably that same amount of time here in the Netherlands.

It's so normal here, we practically see it as a Dutch staple.

And it's a very healthy and tasty way to cook.

Nasi Goreng is every Friday, like Sate is Sunday to us Dutch xD.

kecap manis literally translated to sweet soy sauce. but it is different than the thick soy sauce which is a salty soy sauce with a thicker consistency. while quite common in south east asia, kecap manis is very popular in indonesia. if you want to find kecap manis in the asian store, you can look for brand like Bango, ABC, or nasional. these are the big brand name
