About Nasi kukus
Nasi Kukus, also known as steamed rice, is a popular Malaysian dish featuring fragrant rice cooked using steam to retain its natural aroma and light texture. Typically, it’s paired with flavorful side dishes such as spicy chicken rendang, sambal chili, fresh cucumber, and sometimes hard-boiled eggs. Originating from Malaysia, it is a staple of Malay cuisine and is celebrated for its bold flavors and simplicity. From a nutritional perspective, the dish offers a balanced combination of protein from the meat, carbohydrates from the rice, and vitamins from the vegetables. However, the healthiness of Nasi Kukus can vary depending on preparation methods, as some versions incorporate rich, fatty sauces which are calorie-dense. Opting for lean meats, reduced oil use, and extra vegetables can make this dish a wholesome choice for meals. Its cultural significance and versatility make it a go-to choice for food lovers exploring Southeast Asian cuisine.
