Rinse the brown rice under cold water and combine it with 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 30-35 minutes until the water is absorbed and rice is tender. Allow to cool completely.
Finely chop the garlic cloves, onion, carrot, and green onions. Slice the cooked chicken breast into thin strips.
In a large non-stick wok or frying pan, apply a light coating of cooking spray. Add the garlic, onion, carrots, and peas. Stir-fry over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Add the cooled brown rice, low-sodium soy sauce, and chili paste to the pan with the vegetables. Stir well to combine and heat through for another 3-4 minutes.
Mix in cooked chicken breast strips and half of the green onions. Drizzle the sesame oil over the rice mixture and toss to coat. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate non-stick pan, lightly spray with cooking spray and heat over medium. Pour in the egg whites, tilting the pan to create an even layer.
Cook the egg whites for 2-3 minutes until set and carefully slide them onto a plate.
Place a portion of the Nasi Goreng mixture in the center of the egg wrap. Gently fold the sides over the filling to create a parcel.
Repeat with remaining egg whites and rice mixture to make additional parcels.
Garnish each Nasi Goreng parcel with the remaining green onions and serve immediately.
