Nasi kucing

Nasi kucing is a traditional dish originating from Surakarta, Yogyakarta, and Semarang in Central Java. The dish consists of a small portion of rice that's topped with ingredients such as tempeh, dried fish, and sambal, or in some cases cucumber, chicken, and eggs.

The combination traditionally comes wrapped in banana leaves. The name of the dish means cat's rice, referring to the small quantity of rice that's usually served as a part of the dish. Nasi kucing can be found at small roadside eateries or food stalls.
