Nasi Uduk - Betawinese Scented Coconut Rice

A great pair with Ayam Bakar Bumbu Rujak - Barbequed Chicken with Chili Coconut Sauce.

As you may know from my previous post that these two dishes, Nasi Uduk and Ayam Bakar Bumbu Rujak were made in hurry. In 4.5 hours, I was done cooking, taking some shots, cropping and sending the pictures to Shelly.

I think this is my third time making nasi uduk for the past two weeks. First, I craved for nasi uduk around 11 PM last week with combination method on a stove and in a rice cooker, then I tried to make nasi uduk on a stove only, but it was failed. I decided no more making nasi uduk on stove only method, since I am always succeed on making this with a rice cooker or combination those two.
