With a bite: hot pretzels! It is shaken rather than cooked. The key ingredient gives the spice marinade a fantastic flavour and is lemon pepper.

Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 leek, chopped
- 2 green chile peppers, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- ½ pound peeled and deveined shrimp
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 cups cold cooked white rice
- 3 tablespoons kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pour eggs into the hot skillet and cook until the edges begin to set. Lift the edges to allow any uncooked egg to flow onto the hot pan, about 1 minute. Flip omelet in one piece and cook until fully set, about 30 seconds. Transfer omelet to a cutting board and slice into 1/2-inch strips. Set aside.
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. Stir in onion, leek, chile peppers, and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in chicken, shrimp, coriander, and cumin; mix well. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes.
- Mix in cooked rice, sweet soy sauce, and omelet strips; cook until rice is heated through and chicken is no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes.
- To cook rice: Bring 2 cups of water and 1 cup white rice to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Spread onto a baking sheet, then refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.

I ran a little short of coriander but it turned out quite good. I would make again.
Really different!!! (but good).
Delicious!
I made it spicy for Desi taste! It turned out to be great! I used Basmati rice , added some salt and cayenne pepper to omelette, used 2 serrano green peppers and 1 tablespoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. By the way could not find kecap manis so prepared it myself.A must try for food lovers.
As a base recipe this is good but you can sub out any of the veggies or meat.
I am not familiar with Indonesian cuisine, so I kind of didn’t notice when I first read the recipe that it calls for a different kind of Soy sauce. So I had to substitute regular low sodium soy sauce. Also didn’t have any green Chile peppers , so I used 1 tea spoon of Sambal chili paste. But, the recipe still produced a delicious, fried rice. I am, really curious now about the Indonesian soy sauce and can’t wait to get some and remake this recipe with it.
Easy to make. Will make it again. Kick it up some by using sambal. I did not use prawns but added more chucken
I made this last night. I omitted the shrimp and used only chicken. I tripled the amount of garlic and I used canned diced green chiles (the whole 4 oz can). I julienned baby carrots and added some snap peas because the Indonesian Rice that I had previously was filled with veggies. I used 2 eggs and 5 TBSP’s of Soy Sauce because with the addition of veggies — it didn’t seem to have enough sauce. I LOVED it and chose to make it our meal, my husband felt it was more of a side dish.
Loved it !!! We will make this one a family staple Thanks :)I didn’t use the chili’s so I put a good squirt of sriracha sauce in with the soya sauce.
I grew up on Nasi and my mom always bought the seasoning packet from the local Dutch shop so I was very happy to find this recipe. I made it the other day and it was AMAZING!!! I made a few changes; I used coconut oil instead of cooking spray and sumbal instead if the chillies and I did not make my rice ahead of time just rinced it in cold water in a colander. I also used Braggs Soy Dressing as I didn’t have Indonesian Ketjap and it all turned out great!!! Tasted even better than the pre-packaged seasoning mix!!
I followed the recipe to a “T”. It was very good,
This was a great dish to satisfy everyone that was at the table…not too spicy for the kids but had enough flavour to be enjoyed by the adults. We would make this one again.
This recipe was delicious and a big hit in my house! I didn’t use any of the meat as I was using this for a side, but the taste was so good, it didn’t matter.
Iya, this recipe is enak! Only I didn’t have any cumin, but next time okay lah. Also, I used the fancy molasses to mix with my soy sauce to make the perfect Kecup Manis. For the shrimp, I only had the dried ones from the Chinese market but I boiled for ten minutes to make soft. The leftover rice from the night before was already in the fridge but after it had let off a little steam. I think it was splendid except my Indonesian wife suggested we should have some terasi. Well, we will have to make a trip to Calgary to find that. num num
A really good recipe I added a few more veggies just because I had them on hand and they needed to be used.
Very tasty. Added some veggies in.
I thought this recipe was very good. A Dutch coworker of mine recommended that I cook the onions in bacon grease first and I’m so glad I did! The flavor was wonderful. I added some musherooms that I had on hand and chile paste. I didn’t have any shrimp so I just used a full pound of chicken. I also didn’t have a leek so I added green onion. Everything else I kept the same. I can’t wait to make this again.
This is a great recipe! I lived in Indonesia and its very authentic. I omitted the leeks but added frozen (cooked) green peas and a grated carrot for color and white pepper and salt to taste. Then served with cilantro sprinkled on top. Wonderful!!
This was very good. I had to use regular light soy sauce, didn’t have the sweet. I also added a little fish sauce since I have seen other recipes that did, and our family is a fan of it. Rest of the recipe I followed exact and everyone enjoyed it. Thnx.
We omitted the prawns & used more chicken. Using regular soy sauce made it so salty, so we just doubled the rice. Leeks are SO good for you and milder than onions, so we added an extra due to a small onion. The coriander & cumin made great flavor that sits on your tongue! My kids loved it, but appreciated minced veggies. Will add a red pepper for cool color next time.
Nasi Goreng is a staple in our home. My hubby’s maternal side of the family are dutch…however they spent a good deal of time in Indonesia. I have learned many wonderful recipes that are Dutch/Indonesian. This particular one we make a little different. We use leftover (cold) rice from a previous meal and saute in bacon grease. We then add in chopped green onion, regular onion, spam cut up (or bacon if we have some cooked) and enough soy sauce to coat the rice nicely. You could very easily use any meat of your choosing. We also add in scrambled eggs. Very simple and a very good way to use up leftover rice. Just make sure your using COLD rice! Enjoy!!
