This nasi goreng was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still good. I'll just use less chili next time.

This nasi goreng was delicious! The flavors were well-balanced, and the tofu was cooked perfectly. I especially liked the addition of the kecap manis. It gave the dish a lovely sweet and savory flavor.

I love nasi goreng, but I'm always looking for ways to make it healthier. This vegetarian version is perfect! It's packed with veggies and tofu, and it's still just as flavorful as the traditional dish.
