Nasi ulam (from Kawi nasi ulam)[4] is a traditional Indonesian (Javanese-origin) dish of steamed rice (nasi) served with various ulam (side dishes).[5]
The herbs used are mostly the leaves of pegagan (Centella asiatica), though they can also be replaced with kemangi (lemon basil), vegetables, and spices, accompanied with various side dishes.[2] This dish is a feature of Javanese (inventor) and Betawi[2] cuisines with many variations and is commonly found in Java and anywhere across the globe where the Javanese diaspora settled. Nasi ulam is often served with sambal chilli paste.
