Ingredients

• 2 cups jasmine rice
• 1.5 cups coconut milk
• 1 cup water
• 2 pandan leaf
• 1 lemongrass stalks
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 chicken breast, skinless
• 200 grams firm tofu
• 4 hard-boiled eggs
• 4 shallots
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup fried shallots (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Step 2

In a medium pot over medium-high heat, combine coconut milk, water, pandan leaves, lemongrass stalk, bay leaves, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil.

Step 3

Add the rinsed rice to the pot, stir, and once it begins to boil, reduce it to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and let it cook for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

Step 4

While the rice is cooking, season the chicken breasts with turmeric, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Remove and let rest before slicing.

Step 6

Cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil and fry tofu until golden. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Slice the shallots and garlic cloves thinly. In the skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil, and sauté the shallots and garlic until golden brown and fragrant.

Step 8

To assemble, serve the coconut rice with sliced chicken, tofu, and halves of hard-boiled eggs. Top with fried shallots for garnish.

Step 9

Enjoy your high-protein nasi uduk served with a side of sambal or fresh vegetables if desired.
