Nasi uduk is made by cooking rice soaked in coconut milk instead of water, along with clove, cassia bark, and lemongrass to add aroma. Sometimes knotted pandan leaves are thrown into the rice while steaming to give it more fragrance. The coconut milk and spices imparts an oily, rich taste to the cooked rice. Bawang goreng (fried shallots) is sprinkled on top of the rice prior to serving. Various other dishes are usually served as side dishes. Pre-packed nasi uduk are commonly wrapped in a banana leaf.
