My kids love “Indonesian Yellow Rice” or Nasi Kuning. Every time we visit an Indonesian Restaurant, my hubby and I will order the steamed rice while our kids prefer the yellow rice. It’s tasty and fragrant, reasons more appealing to the kids to go with their BBQ meat.
Nasi Kuning is an Indonesian Yellow Rice cooked in coconut milk and turmeric. It's very symbolic cause the yellow color look like a pile of gold which means good fortune, prosperity, wealth and dignity. This symbolism made it a preferred dish for festivities, housewarming and weddings and a favorite rice for its soft texture, inviting colour, pleasing fragrance and very rich and flavourful taste.
Today is a request for Pork BBQ, so I thought Nasi Kuning is the best pair to go with this, along with our available coconut vinegar (Tuba Vinegar). Lunch will be served in Indo-fil inspired dish, satisfying cravings for the day!
