Fragrant and Savory Indonesian Traditional Yellow Rice from Java. Authentic Recipe of Nasi Kuning.

Things to know about Nasi Kuning Recipe

The Indonesian traditional fragrant yellow rice is a staple in many Indonesian events, from birthdays to the Independence Day of Indonesia. It is an easy dish to cook and is sure to be loved by everyone! The yellow color of the rice comes from the use of turmeric added during the cooking process of the rice. Instead of water, the rice is cooked with coconut milk, producing a fragrant, savory, and delicious rice that can be eaten on its own or with accompanying dishes like “telur balado” and “ayam goreng”. On special occasions, such as birthdays, formal events, Independence Day, and other events, the Yellow rice is shaped into a large cone and called Tumpeng. It is a common practice in Indonesia to cook tumpeng to celebrate and give thanks for something big, like how cakes are used in western countries. This tumpeng is accompanied by many side dishes, like perkedel, kering tempe, telur balado, ayam goreng, sambal hati, etc. This dish has been around since the age of Hindu empires in Indonesia, like Majapahit.
