Nasi uduk is a very popular Indonesian dish. Made from rice cooked with coconut milk and spices, nasi uduk presents a combination of savory and fragrant flavors. It is no wonder that nasi uduk is a favorite choice for many people, whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
In the process of making it, rice is cooked with thick coconut milk and mixed with various spices such as lemongrass, bay leaves, and pandan leaves. This combination not only provides a delicious taste but also an alluring aroma. Once cooked, uduk rice is usually served with various side dishes such as fried chicken, stir-fried tempeh, omelettes, peanut sauce, and crackers.
Although it looks easy, there are several steps that need to be considered in making uduk rice. In order for the results to be more sticky and long-lasting, most people usually will saut the rice first. Only then, the rice is doused with coconut milk and various spices.
For some people, pre-soaking rice tends to be troublesome. Because if the technique is not right, the rice will actually be hard and not soft. Therefore, many people then look for other ways to make uduk rice so that the results are delicious and last longer. Luckily, an Instagram user @aaron_laksana once shared a simple trick in making more practical uduk rice.
This chef and content creator admitted that he only relies on a rice cooker to make uduk rice. However, to make the result more sticky, not hard, and can last longer, there are cooking tricks that must be applied.
