Nasi uduk is a Betawi breakfast of rice cooked in coconut milk with lemongrass and bay leaf until fragrant. It is sold wrapped with fried chicken, tempeh, balado egg, fried vermicelli and peanut sambal.
Coconut milk makes it a little richer than plain rice. What goes alongside matters most: fried sides and vermicelli can add more than the rice itself.
