Nasi jagung

(Corn Rice)

Nasi jagung is a traditional rice dish originating from Indonesia. This simple dish is made with a combination of rice, sweet corn kernels, and water. The rice and corn are boiled in water and stirred from time to time until the corn is fully cooked and the rice is dry and fluffy.


Nasi jagung is stirred well and then served while still hot. This dish is popular in areas where rice is difficult to obtain or expensive, so corn is used to add bulk to the rice.
