[@sutharshankarthikesu]

this is not not nasi goreng. This is chicken fried rice

[@risbuanadewi2519]

I'm from Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@whatsupwithaldi2914]

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".

[@peterevans1371]

It is absolutely not the authentic way

[@user-ys7uj3ux9frok]

Jenis beras apa yang digunakan? nasi basmati?

[@geraintjones6401]

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!

[@bloemenstadvoetbalbdg9306]

[@L_Bocua]

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 !

[@MimiMimi-gf2sr]

@Kalli.ming Yes she has that Chinese attitude and look.

[@RyanTaylor2000]

Ketjap or Kecap in Indonesian is the default name for sweet soy sauce. For a regular soy sauce we call em salty kecap specifically.

[@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.

[@radhasamoedj8155]

hy sweet lady. i am from Suriname. lots of indo people live here. i love to cook nasigoreng just like the one you made. you can add wet or dried shrimps too. the topping is georges. many thanks♡ greetings.

[@QueenBee497]

Hi ik ben ook van Suriname!!! haar recept ziet er heerlijk uit he!!!

[@radhasamoedj8155]

+Debora Aboikoni o hey, jawel zeker weten. danki vr jou reactie ♡

[@Huisz]

Heerlijk hoe een gerecht de hele wereld over gaat, ook hier in Nederland altijd smullen met Nasi Goreng. En ik hou van Ketjap Manis:)

[@PailinsKitchen]

Thank you :)

[@radhasamoedj8155]

Huisz dat klopt als een bus. en ketjap manis kan je niet missen. slamet makan.

[@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.

[@user-ys7uj3ux9frok]

I am making book for authentic food recipes it will be authentic recipe if i use basmati rice?

[@juno764]

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.

[@apsetiadi]

That Knorr shrimp broth cube is so good. Unfortunately it's not sold in Indonesia albeit being produced in the Philippines. Quite bizarre that you could easily get it in London but not Jakarta? 😂

[@primagustiamaharani7574]

The most authentic Nasi Goreng coming from non-indonesian in KZbin! Good job, Pai 😊

[@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.!

[@eriquerique]

FINALLY!!! A foreigner who cooks nasi goreng right!!!! This is pretty authentic!! Thank you Pai!!

[@erwinsutanto5648]

I love how on point is your pronounciation of 'krupuk' and 'terasi'. Love from Indonesia ❤️

[@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.

[@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

[@choiallson3955]

as indonesian i just really appreciate how well prepared and researched youve made for this recipe... thank youuu

[@megawatimustafa]

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!

[@nickolailaw9058]

I might not agree with all the ingredients involved but the way you have presented in this video is so delightful. Great job!

[@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.😉🙏

[@cateyes1304]

I'm Indonesian. I always like to see your vdio.today I'm so surprais when see you cook my country food. that is my favorite food too.. nasi goreng. love u.

[@nhuphuong060688]

Your videos are those that I never have a second thought on whether or not I'll watch them. I just came back from Indonesia, your recipe definitely looks as authentic as any Nasi Goreng I've had through out Indonesia.

[@mahirrahman7]

This is my first time checking out the channel. I'm half Indonesian and Bengali from Chinatown NYC

[@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.

[@RyanTaylor2000]

She uses sambal when frying the rice

[@user-ys7uj3ux9frok]

Jenis beras apa yang digunakan? nasi basmati?

[@ikaarianti8270]

hello from Indonesia,it's past midnight now in here,thank you very much for presenting this popular food which you can actually find from street stalls to five stars hotels :)) and there are many version of this.

[@kemaldjakman]

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! 👍

[@BryanBowser]

I make a version of nasi goereng which I guess isn't very traditional but I love it. I do it by making the rice in a large pot and frying chicken, peas, red, green and yellow peppers as well as green onions in another pan. I use sweet soya sauce, sambal and quite a bit of cumin and just put everything in with the rice and stir when the rice is cooked. It's served with pineapple slices and a home made peanut sauce.

[@BimaTriSaktibimaoxz]

thanks to promoted Indonesian food. good job :) greetings from Indonesia

[@agneskunze2914]

Thank you Pailin for promoting our cuisine. One more ingredient you shall put is candle nut with the paste. Way to go Pailin! Love your channel and I love Thai food too.

[@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.

[@chrisd5964]

Thanks, I always thought bought sambal tasted weird. Also you can make your own ketcap manis very easily.

[@imeliciouz1085]

Authentic one Pai.. we called it nasi goreng kampung, with kerupuk, acar, fried shallot.. love it

[@Mamboro17]

I usually scramble eggs with the rice straight away, top with sunny side up egg, fried sjalots, veggies, and some satay or fried chicken on the side. The variation in combinations is endless. Great vid

[@christineoctoveronica1435]

LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I am Indonesian, but i think you cooked it way way way better than i did. Thanks for cooking it Pai. You are the best!!!

[@fitrinurjannati5112]

I'm Indonesian and now I live in Bangkok, what a perfect youtube content for me. You are more talented to cook nasi goreng than Indonesian 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dibz1839]

fried anchovies are delicious tooooooo but keropok is a must when it comes to nasi goreng hehe

[@sarathudugama6110]

I am a Sri Lankan fan of your's and making some of your popular dishes like papaya salad, Nas Goreng etc. My family love these. Thanking for your fatastic presentations. Sarath

[@marthajeong2407]

got my mouth watering to see this video. I'm Indonesian living in Thailand. If I want KauPad (thai fried rice) let say I can buy. If I want Nasi Goreng, I have to make it by myself. they're really different in taste but still they're so good 👌

[@paptjierico8581]

Hi pai! I'm from a caribbean country called Surinam that is made up of many mixed etnicities such as the indonesian people! Our country is so diverse nonetheless we're basically united by food. Good food is our staple and recipes are there for generations and generations. In my family we sometimes add dried baby shrimp (can also be rehydrated). Another thing we use is oyster sauce mixed with the soy sauce for that umaminess. And another topping i would suggest is fried garlic ! Love your show and love for food!! Keep up the good work.

[@paptjierico8581]

Ohh and another typical thing in our country is pickled peppers!! Those are the best you get the spicyness, sweetness and tartness in one combo.

[@PailinsKitchen]

Good to know, thanks!

[@javabrown4851]

I was surprised finding you cooking Indonesian fried rice. Yes, Thai and Indonesian food cooked with many ingredients, make them rich in flavor. In fact, Thai food was the first one got me survived in USA. First couple months in US, I was struggling finding food I liked, trying Mexican, Indian, Chinese, American, and I could not get the taste that satisfied my tongue, until I tried Thai curry from local restaurant in Melbourne, FL. Thanks God. Beside, I found Thai people are very friendly. Anyway love your videos, and thanks for your recipes.

[@amalinaruss]

Im from Malaysia!! I got so excited when u mentioned Malaysian shrimp paste!! it is so popular here!! Keep it up Pai. I love love loveeeeeeee your videos! huge fan from Malaysia 😘😘😘

[@dpinvogue2012]

She mispronounced the Bahasa Melayu word for 'shrimp paste', 'belacan', pronounced as 'ber-la-CHAN'.

[@dj_kitchen]

Sawadi Khrap, Wah terimakasih sudah memperkenalkan makanan khas Indonesia, I am from Indonesia. Khopkun Khrap.

[@infullpanavision]

my grandfather was born in Jakarta so i kinda grew up with this dish. i remember mom used to put some green peas in it, maby that's the European touch ;-)

[@daffaakbar]

I'm Indonesian but actually I don't really have a sweet tongue and therefore I'm not really a kecap manis person (I use maggi or regular soy sauce more often) but I must agree that we cannot leave kecap manis for this recipe. For those with more of a salty tongue like me, in Indonesia there is also a popular kind of homemade fried rice (its rarely found at the streets or in restaurants) which is butter/margarine fried rice, it's a popular school meal for children and it's simply rice fried off with butter/margarine (hence their yellow color) and seasoned with salt or stock powder. Usually an egg will join the party. I sometimes add garlic and green onion for taste and corned beef or sausage for protein, but it's just as good eaten by itself. Pai, you've done a great job, keep it up!

[@selvijulia7593]

Its amazing Pai, am indonesian and this is exactly how i cook my Nasi goreng ❤️🤤🇮🇩 thank youuuuuuu x

[@tmnprlsaicntr]

I assume every culture has its own version of how to prepare fried rice! It's such a universal dish! I'm not a rice fan but I loved this video a lot. Thanks so much Pailin. I'm eagerly waiting for your next video already! Love you so much. You definitely make cooking look fun and easy. That's a great message & impression to all modern girls out there who hardly know what even a kitchen is!

[@nostampsrequired]

Love the way you cook the nasi goreng. I blend dried chillies sub for sambal oelek. And also I added salted fish cut in small pieces. Omg. So yummmm! Oh yaaa less the salt too if u add salted fish. Looking forward for more asian dishes!

[@johk123]

wow... as an Indonesian I am amazed by the way you imitate our recipe and pallet. Just the way we used to make in here. you can also use fried tofu as a substitute for the Krupuk or fried Tempe.

[@thihnan]

I love to use chicken sausage , cubed beef , shredded chicken , green chillies and veggies in my nasi .

[@YanaHisham]

Yesss! I love nasi goreng especially Nasi Goreng Kampung. Garnished with fried anchovies and kangkung. Yummm

Wow you really know your Indonesian cuisine! Great job. New fan right here

[@danywijdannasrullah9239]

Hai, I'm from Indonesia, after i watched your video about nasi goreng. I never put the terasi when i make some nasi goreng, n i always add an egg mix with the rice and put some sausage or bakso "meat ball" as well. But that's very interest because i never use terasi.. hehe

[@shanechua8040]

If it is nasi goreng, the belachan is in my opinion non negotiable. The smell is funky but sooooooo gooood. Glad you added achar as condiment along with the fried shallots. They are absolutely great at completing the dish. In Singapore and Malaysia, the achar will be a spicy sort and we tend to also include red or green chilis with the nasi.

[@jonifuadi8469]

I like my nasi goreng to be super spicy. usually I put fried tofu and fresh cucumber on top of my nasi goreng. tofu and cucumber can balance it, you know, like yin and yang.. lol

[@zamlahani]

tofu? innovative!

[@leafofdiandy7147]

Hi Pallin, I like Nasi Goreng with stink beans and real Indonesian peanut sause. I'm from the Netherlands, so we used to eat Indonesian food from the day that we are kids...Kroepoek and peanut sause are so normal for us Dutchies ;)

[@rjsana2590]

Hi, First of allllll I should thank you dear, Thank you sooo much!!!! coz I'm not cooking well, but after watching your recipe I always impressing my husband with my dish.... I don't have time make foods everyday so Saturday is the of cooking of our house, so I'm tried in your style it was great success. Your recipes superb and cool. Thank you..

[@nhshoney1767]

The belacan will make us sneeze but the taste of nasi goreng will be outta this world!

[@SBinVancouver]

Thanks so much for including metric weights for ingredients (400g rice...). Also really enjoy seeing the local spellings for ingredients (belachan; terasi; kapi) as well as the translations! About the shrimp paste, I'd caution to moderate the added salt when using shrimp paste - it's an optional ingredient for this recipe but it is quite salty and whether one chooses to use it may affect the need for added salt. Once more tip! Some krupuk can be successfully microwaved... lower in fat, no cleanup, fast. Some Thai ones I tried this way, however, were nasty when microwaved.

[@tjandra813]

My Oma would put cabbage in her Nasi Goreng. I love this!! Thanks for sharing.

[@b.valentine3254]

my family is dutch so we also had nasi goreng a lot!! we usually used onion, corn, and green beans or snap peas in it, and my mum would melt a dollop of wowbutter (peanut allergy house lol) into it before serving! we'd usually eat it with cucumber slices ^^

[@erwinpurba2480]

Thank you Pailin for making an amazing presentation and preparation of our Indonesian national dish. It is really authentic and is prepared exactly the way we do it. Some people also add a fried chicken and chicken satay on the side. Additionally the acar may be mixed with shallots and bird eye chillis. Also plus sambal terasi on the side.

[@kirkmiddendorp3262]

I really like your version of Nasi Goreng!!!! Great video....Thanks.

[@alliemollie]

I can only imagine how flavorful the dish is. Looks so yummy! U got a winner there again Pai.

Looks sooo delicious! I'm indonesian but I've never tried nasi goreng with shrimp paste before. I'll try this thanks Pailin ^^

[@jennytheripper]

i always enjoy your videos, i love how you go to the trouble to be as authentic as possible.

[@jeffward1106]

Wow! A few simple steps and ingredients, with your talent, looks fantastic.

[@anneparisianne44]

Pai Lin, you are amazing! hahaha.. I'm Indonesian and I'm one of your subscriber. I love ALL of your recipes! By the way, just wanna give additional comments on Nasi Goreng: - that's correct for the white rice, should use the cold rice. Which means you have cooked the white rice at least 4 hours before you make it as nasi goreng. Also, when you make the white rice, make sure you've made it a bit dry. - when mix the ingredients in the wok, please use low heat, but once the white rice, kecap, and salt are included in the wok, it is advisable to use a high heat and toss it until it's all mixed. That's all. Thank you Pailin for all of your recipes!

[@PailinsKitchen]

Thank you!

[@innywibawa6985]

You got it so right, Pailin! It goes well with satay and meat floss normally. Yum...!

[@princesswhitepearl7488]

There's just so many variations of Nasi Goreng and i personally like Seafood Nasi Goreng with shrimps fishcake crabmeat & Nasi Goreng Kampung as well with a green chilli paste and anchovies!!!

[@vliegendehollander55]

Make your krupuk your self, its easy and then you are sure there are shrimps in it. Buying for me is a no no. They have the shrimp color, yeah, we all know what the food industry can do... Cucumber is great with her dish. There so many ways to make this, its a left over dish, this one is great also. Thank you so much..!

[@rbfmvm98]

Usually i'd love to put meatball, fishball, squids, shrimps, fried anchovy and veggies like cabbage, collard green, peas 😂 do versatile you can add any kind of things that u desire

[@leeleesale]

You can chili in the herb paste if you prefer spicy food. Meatball or fishcake also common to be add to nasi goreng.

[@teguhsetyasa4295]

I am Indonesian, I prefer nasi goreng without kecap manis. Btw nice job.

[@AdrianFirdhawanSoekotjo]

My favorite dish in the world, i'd eat it every single day! I personally think the key to Nasi Goreng would be the "baceman bawang" and the sweet soysauce. baceman bawang is basically ground up garlic and candle nut, completely submerged in vegetable oil for at least 2 days to ferment in an airtight glass jar and use this fermented oil to toast the herb paste from your recipe. this gives the certain "umpfh" to the overall taste. also great for stir frying base.

[@fauraalfifarhahputri2365]

i add scrambled egg, sometimes slice sausage, green peas, and believe me put some shreded cheddar cheese right after you cook it will make it extra savory extra amaziingggg! love youuuu pai!

[@hampersenak]

I'd like to use kencur (kaempferia galanga), pete (stinky bean), julienne slices of kefir lime leaves (without midrib or leaf bone and petiole), and green chilli for my nasi goreng. It feel so aromatic, and delicious. I don't use fish sauce for indonesian nasi goreng kampung, it is for chinese style fried rice. But anyway, nice recipe, thanks.

[@alfalubis2780]

Love how precise you pronounce all the Indonesian terms. 😁😁😁

[@minoritas2780]

hello from Indonesia.. finally.. you make the fav dish from our country.. also we have mutton fried rice which recipe is pretty much the same except you need to add some curry flavor.. :)

[@andretan2446]

I love your recipe!!! your description on kecap manis spots on, and I like the way you try to pronounce the Indonesian word, and show the ingredients.

[@tidudddudidam5163]

remind me, whenever we have leftover rice my mom will cook nasi goreng the day after. she just put whatever we have in the fridge. you can also change the rice with noodles, with the same recipe and toppings >< another toppings like lettuce, fresh cucumber, fried anchovy, fried chicken, sunny side egg or else

[@michelefranco8571]

[@ferdynand2402]

mate you made me hungry

[@star_anise7098]

You pronounce nasi goreng perfectly. I always use thai sweet soy sauce and i can say it tastes very similar, one thing I noticed that the Indonesian version is little bit sweeter but if you don't have the indonesian version thai version does a really good job too.

[@didiitung3821]

you made it perfectly the same like what we made here in Indonesia. i wish i can give this video a bunch of thumbs up. great job!

[@straypaws5719]

nice also to put cabbage and oyster sauce as a replacement for sweet sauce and also its nice to use tuna as protein.

[@dennydenlim]

Pailin, you can add Fresh Thai Sator Beans To Nasi Goreng too; it is common to see Sator on Fried Rice. In Indonesia, we call Sator "Pete." you can get fresh Thai Sator in Vancouver's Chinatown shop called "Asian Market. " I used to shop there a lot when I was living and studying in Canada.

[@hiskiamilka8092]

[@umarmars47]

Yes, shrimp paste is so aromatic. Another reason to love my comfort food.

[@Satorusan24]

Yes you are totally correct Pai. The most important ingredients from Nasi Goreng is Kecap Manis. The second one is one day before rice. Do not use fresh cooked rice.

[@mokieisme]

Thanks, that is more on point! More like Indonesian cuisine that my Granma cook, Unlike the other KZbinrs, you done your research Well.. Love it...

[@tjhang2311]

nasi goreng belacan...😆😆yummy....😋

[@TuneIntoAiko]

I love making a paste of green chilies (not the spicy one), shallots and garlic, sometimes adding Thai basil as well, and make a green nasi goreng. Then sprinkle crispy fried 'ikan teri', anchovies-like fish, and add some kerupuk 'emping'. So good!

[@FullHappyBelly]

This recipe looks so tasty. Thank you for sharing friend. Stay connected!

[@amandanadya5219]

Well done this looks absolutely amazing! I am Indonesian and you did us proud! I make nasi goreng so often it's our usual Sunday big breakfast! I don't usually put the terasi (shrimp paste) but I might try it! The acar is perfect for it, or fresh cucumber would do it too. Thought I mention another quick fried rice I do for the kids, with just garlic and butter, and chicken as protein. Not sure if you have tried nasi goreng padang? It's basically what you did, minus the shrimp and kecap, but more shallots and much much more blendered chili. And instead of chopped green shallots, you add chopped celery leaves. 🌹 Thank you, I love your cooking channel!

[@ladyazkaban8657]

love it. I love to put sausage, frozen peas, meatball and anything I have in fridge

[@peterstang]

Very colourful and balanced recipe. I like it!

[@atelier_rabbit]

I will definitely try this for intense studying days!

[@widya1979]

wow this is very authentic! im sure it taste so great look at the amount of shrimp taste you put i think that very strong lol! ABC sweet soya sauce is very sweet i think you may use it lesser and use fresh chili instead ready made one then it will be perfect!
