I messed up a copypaste, sorry

@CeeCee I wish we had a wow button.... thanks for all this info - fascinating!

 

Glad to hear, thanks for the heads up!

 

I tried to find our Indonesian chef Lonny Gerungan on Youtube. He has made some culi travel shows years ago and produced an Indonesian line aimed at supermarket audience. Current one is at Albert Heijn (the same who started selling Conimex way back), named Samasaya and this is a Dutch video of him using the nasi goreng cooking sauce. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZyT9yeadPo

You won't find this product anywhere now, it has been nixed in favor of a paste. Ingredients: Water, garlic, onion, trassi (shrimppaste), chilipepper, natural vinegar, vegetable canola oil, salt, bell pepper, white pepper, natural thickener (xanthaangom). Find his recommended recipe here

 

His old line at Albert Heijn (AH in short, which you pronounce quite similar to the famed Swedish band A-Ha) consisted of several products. Some were microwave meals, which had two components. One rice and the other was a saucy meaty, fishy or vegetable one. My absolute favorite was the dengdeng blado, a beef concoction. I still use some of those braided packaging to this day, quite convenient. Here's a picture of a steamed fish  and an ayam (chicken) paniki, to get an idea. That url shares a story. Poor Lonny couldn't keep up the rising demand and sold his line to a business that went belly up. They still own his imaging and won't allow him using his own name, which is how Samasaya came to being. In Dutch we could say that it's flauw. This means bland or in this case lame, although I rather call them bastards. Thought the flauw/bland would be a funny addition to a post on Dutch-Indonesian stuff.

 

Now that you've met Conimex, Inproba and some of Lonny's work, what else can be found here to help out with nasi goreng? Kokkie Djawa is a brand that can be found in both toko's and some supermarkets. Toko Lien looks quite similar. Koningsvogel (English language available) has tubs, but is probably best known for their line of sambals going beyond the generic oelek and badjak varieties.  Here are the nasi goreng options at the online webshop of the biggest toko chain in The Netherlands.

 

Remember Conimex starting out with canned nasi? Different brand still does this. I've watched a friend eat this, while camping at a music festival in Germany. He referred to it as nazi göring. Tasteless humor one might say...
 

While browsing Youtube, I found some other vids that might be of interest.

 

Mingfang Wang migrated to the Netherlands from China. She inherited her brothers Chinese restaurant 'De Chinese Muur' in Hilversum (a city between Amsterdam and Utrecht) and wrote a book about her experience in the lowlands Chinese restaurant scene. The restaurant was sold after 12 years and seems to have some trouble keeping up to prior level. Looking at the menu, you can see the Chinese - Indonesian crossover unique to The Netherlands that unfortunately nowadays has been deemed as a dying breed.

Watch her make nasi goreng Chinese style for a Dutch audience:

The other recipes might be offtopic, but I'll include direct links for easy access:

 

#1 Yangzhou fried rice (the original fried rice, his words)

#2 Hokkien fried rice

#4 Homestyle Japanese omuraisu

#5 Kimchi fried rice
