About this dish
Nasi padang is a Minangkabau rice meal of steamed white rice served with a choice of pre-cooked dishes from West Sumatra, Indonesia, named for the city of Padang. The cited source calls it "a miniature banquet of meats, fish, vegetables, and spicy sambals eaten with plain white rice", and identifies it as Sumatra's most famous food export and the Minangkabau people's primary contribution to Indonesian cuisine. Padang restaurants are recognisable by their Rumah Gadang-style facades and the stacked rows of bowls visible through the window. Smaller Padang restaurants often carry Minang-language names. The dish is found across Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Nusa Tenggara, Papua, and in neighbouring countries including Malaysia, Singapore, East Timor, and Australia.
