Nasi timbel
Nasi timbel is a traditional rice dish originating from West Java. This extremely simple nasi dish is made with rice that's wrapped in a banana leaf, then steamed until tender. Nasi timbel is rarely eaten on its own – instead, it's served with various hot dishes and sides such as fried chicken, fried fish, tofu, tempeh, vegetables, soups, or sambal.
