Nasi uduk is an Indonesian style steamed rice cooked in coconut milk dish originally from Jakarta,which can be widely found across the country. ( In Malaysia they also have a similar type of rice which is called as 'Nasi lemak').
Nasi uduk literally means "mixed rice" in Betawi dialect, related with Indonesian term aduk ("mix"). The name describes the dish preparation itself which requires more ingredients than common steamed rice cooking and also varieties of additional side dishes.
Nasi uduk is made by cooking rice soaked in coconut milk instead of water, along with clove, cassia bark, and lemongrass to add aroma. Sometimes knotted pandan
leaves are thrown into the rice while steaming to give it more
fragrance. The coconut milk and spices gave oily rich tastes to the
cooked rice. The bawang goreng (fried shallots)
sprinkled on the top of the rice prior to serving. Assortments of
dishes are usually served as side dishes. The pre-packed nasi uduk
usually wrapped inside banana leaf. ( Source from Wikipedia).
