About nasi uduk

Nasi uduk is rice steamed in coconut milk with lemongrass and bay leaf, eaten with small sides. The coconut rice alone is near 350; omelette, sweet tempeh and peanut sambal bring a typical plate close to 700. Built from its parts: coconut rice (TKPI’s nasi gemuk, its closest entry to nasi uduk), omelette, sweet tempeh, peanut sambal, fried shallots and a cracker — from TKPI values, with amounts from resepkoki.id’s version.

Ways it comes

One dish, a few numbers

Nasi uduk (with sides) · rough numbers

  • Coconut rice only~350
  • With a piece of fried chicken~940

What moves the number

Why one plate is 450 and another 950

  • Rice cooked in coconut milk
  • Fried sides: tempeh, chicken, omelette
  • Peanut sambal and fried shallots
  • Extra crackers and gorengan
  • Rice values differ between food tables (Indonesia’s TKPI lists cooked white rice at about 180 per 100 g) and portions vary, so the rice share here is rough

Ordering lighter

If you want a lighter plate

  • Pick one fried side, not three
  • Ask for less rice
  • Add cucumber and skip the extra cracker

In PlateDiary

A rough number for the dishes you save — only if you want one.

Off unless you turn them on

Calories in PlateDiary are off unless you turn them on. Switch them on and, when PlateDiary AI reads your photo of the table, each dish gets one rough “~” number. Accept it or change it; a number you correct is remembered for that dish. With Calories off, the app looks exactly as it did before.

A read sends small pictures of the cut-out dishes, with the place's name as a hint — never the table photo, faces or your location. Calorie numbers never go to analytics, and nothing is written to a health app. PlateDiary AI starts with free tries; here is how it works.
