• Special Fried Rice: Have fried egg, sunny side up, as accompaniment on the side.
• Cracker: Prawn cracker/chips is also a nice condiments on the side.

Corned Beef Fried Rice:

• If you are cooking with corned beef, leave the sweet soy sauce out. This is a variation of Nasi Goreng called Nasi Goreng Kornet or Corned Beef Fried Rice.

Stinky Beans: 

• Some rather not to use stinky beans, then use green peas as substitute. Will give nice shade of green.

Salted Fish Fried Rice:

• You can use Salted fish as a variation, leave the sweet soy sauce out. This is Nasi Goreng Ikan Asin, or Salted Fish Fried Rice.

Spring Onion:

• Substitute green peas with spring onions, put them after the rice has been poured into the wok. Spring onions will give nice aroma and color to the fried rice.
