Surinamese nasi and Indonesian nasi goreng look alike, but they are not the same. The Surinamese version is sweeter and darker, with more ketjap and usually cabbage mixed in, and it is rarely served on its own: it belongs with bami.
Use rice from the day before, straight from the refrigerator. Those grains have dried out and will stay separate in the wok, whereas fresh hot rice still gives off steam and clumps together into a sticky mass.
Trassi gives the dish its depth. Fry it for half a minute until it starts to smell, then the sharpness disappears and you are left with a salty depth that you could never achieve with salt alone.
