Nasi ulam is a traditional Indonesian dish of steamed rice (nasi) served with various herbs and vegetables (ulam).[4]

The herbs used are mostly the leaves of pegagan (Centella asiatica), though they can also be replaced with kemangi (lemon basil), vegetables, and spices, accompanied with various side dishes.[2] This dish is a feature of Betawi[2] and Malay cuisine with many variations and is commonly found in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and southern Thailand. Nasi ulam is often served with sambal chilli paste.
