bamboe - NASI GORENG - INDONESIAN FRIED RICE - 6 x 1.4 OZ / 40 g / Product of Indonesia

First, let me say that I don't know what is meant by "sheerness" and "thickness" in the question portion. This is a thick paste about the consistency of tomato paste, easily mixed in with other ingredients. Bamboe Nasi Goreng instant spice is very easy to use and really delicious. I do not at all enjoy very hot food made with chilis, but the Bamboe flavorings have just a hint of chili and have never given me any trouble along that line. I also like their Rendang curry instant spice and a sort of mild white curry instant spice whose name I forget. I do deviate from the suggested ingredients, sauteeing chopped onions and maybe some thinly-sliced carrots in coconut oil to begin with and sometimes adding shrimp or egg, after which, most often, I mix the cooked and flavored vegetables and other things all together with cooked short grain white rice or else serve the flavored things on top of unflavored cooked rice. So my Nasi Goreng dishes are probably a little different from the way Indonesians might use this product but they have great flavor every time. I have even added some canned coconut cream to the mix on occasion. I think everyone should try this. I always keep some packets of Bamboe Nasi Goreng instant spice in the cupboard, as it is quite versatile. A couple of my Japanese friends also came across this spice by themselves and love it.

Though this price is high considering the price you would pay for this in an Indonesian grocery store (or market), this makes some yummy fried rice. It is a family favorite. I love that I can make delicious food while knowing I am using good ingredients, as most other brands use lots of msg while this one does not.

Awesome

Makes the best tasting fried rice

we love adding this to rice with an egg and soy sauce. we usually do chicken with it and its not spicy at all. we have little ones who eat it with no problems. so good!!!!

Great stuff. But a bit pricey, like every thing else

Great product - easy to use and super flavorful

I use 1 to 1½ cups of water in the rice cooker with the appropriate amount of dry rice. Once the rice is cooked, I move the rice to a medium bowl, add some microwaved green vegetables, (bell pepper, green beans, peas) and some protein: scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, or fish, add one packet of the flavor mix and stir. And that is dinner for the family. Or store the cooked meal in the refrigerator for microwaving the next day. I admit I don't know what authentic Nasi Goreng is supposed to taste like. I just find this a tasty recipe. I'm definitely keeping these packets in my pantry.
