About Nasi uduk

Nasi Uduk is a traditional Indonesian dish, popular for its fragrant and flavorful rice cooked with coconut milk and spices such as lemongrass, bay leaves, and pandan leaves. Originating from Betawi cuisine in Jakarta, it is commonly served with side dishes such as fried chicken, eggs, tempeh, sambal, and crispy fried shallots. Nutritionally, Nasi Uduk provides energy predominantly from carbohydrates due to the rice base, combined with fats from coconut milk and proteins from accompanying side dishes. It also contains micronutrients such as magnesium, potassium, and small amounts of vitamins like B6 from rice and coconut milk, depending on serving components and preparation methods.

Health Benefits

• Rich in magnesium from rice, which supports muscle and nerve function.
• Provides healthy fats from coconut milk, offering a source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that may boost energy metabolism.
• Contains potassium from pandan leaves and coconut milk, which helps maintain proper fluid balance and blood pressure regulation.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains coconut, soy (if tempeh is served), egg (if included)

Suitable for: Vegetarian (without meat components), gluten-free (if non-processed ingredients are used)

Not suitable for: Vegan (due to traditional inclusion of animal-based sides), low-fat diets (contains coconut milk)

Selection and Storage

Store cooked Nasi Uduk in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before consuming to maintain quality and safety.

Common Questions About Nasi uduk Nutrition

What is the nutritional content of Nasi Uduk?

Nasi Uduk, made from steamed rice cooked with coconut milk, typically contains around 200-250 calories per cup. It provides about 4-5 grams of protein, 40-45 grams of carbohydrates, and 5-8 grams of fat depending on the preparation. Vitamins like B vitamins are present from the rice, while coconut milk adds small amounts of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs).

Is Nasi Uduk suitable for a keto diet?

No, Nasi Uduk is not suitable for a keto diet due to its high carbohydrate content. A single cup contains 40-45 grams of carbohydrates, which can exceed the daily allowance for most keto plans (20-50 grams of net carbs).

What are the health benefits and concerns of eating Nasi Uduk?

Nasi Uduk offers energy from its carbohydrate content and contains healthy fats from coconut milk, which may support heart health in moderate amounts. However, consuming it frequently in large portions can contribute to weight gain or blood sugar spikes in people with diabetes due to its high carb content.

How much Nasi Uduk should I eat per meal?

A serving size of around 1 cup (200-250 grams) of cooked Nasi Uduk is a reasonable portion for most adults, providing about 200-250 calories. Pair it with lean protein and vegetables for a balanced meal and to control overall calorie and nutrient intake.

How does Nasi Uduk compare to plain steamed rice?

Nasi Uduk is richer in flavor and calories than plain steamed rice because it is cooked with coconut milk, which adds fat. While plain rice contains approximately 200 calories per cup, Nasi Uduk contains roughly 40-50 extra calories and additional fats. For a lighter option, plain rice is preferable.
