About this dish

Nasi ambeng (from Javanese ꦤꦱꦶ​ꦲꦩ꧀ꦧꦼꦁ 'nasi ambêng') is an Indonesian (Javanese) fragrant rice dish that consists of—but is not limited to—steamed white rice, chicken curry or chicken stewed in soy sauce, beef or chicken rendang, sambal goreng urap, perkedel, and serundeng. It is a popular food in Javanese cuisine, especially within the Javanese diaspora communities in Singapore and the Malaysian states of Johor and Selangor where they also added fried noodles as additional condiments. Nasi ambeng is often served communal dining-style on a platter to be shared among four to five people, especially during festive or special occasions such as a kenduri.
