I Googled Nasi Goreng, just to see what I would find. I know it as a Dutch/Indonesian dish. My mother in law brings me spice mixes from Dutch Stores. I can't read the ingredients or the instructions, but I do know it's darn good. This was the what I found on
Indochef.com .
"Nasi Goreng, Indonesian fried rice. This dish can be enjoyed by itself or as the basis of a larger meal, for example with a rijsttafel. It is very easy to make and won't take more than 20 minutes to prepare."

My basic recipe involves
Conimex spices, Ketjap Manis & Sambal Oeleck.

For Nasi, I start with some leeks and onions and saute - I do this while my rice cookes Then I cook the meat - I believe it's traditionally pork but this night I did chicken. Finally, I scramble an egg or 2. Once it's all done, I put it all together! Yes, it's similiar to chinese Fried Rice - but it's got more pizazz. More spice. The ketjap islike a soy sauce, but it's thicker and not nearly as salty. It's hard to describe. It's very good, actually. Finally, I mixed in the sambal. Usually it's Oeleck, but this time, direct from the Netherlands, we got Sambal Brandal. A little spicier! Just the way I like it.
Funny. I make Indonesia yellow rice, and now here you are making some as well (although I'm sure you made yours first). From the recipe you gave, and what I know -- coriander, cumin and turmeric should be the spice ingredients? Do you think they include MSG since you find it extra tasty? =)
