Nasi ungu
Recipe video above. Purple rice is a garlicky, butter rice side that owes its vibrant colour to red cabbage! Love this 2-in-1 that combines starch plus plenty of vegetables in one dish, rather than making a salad plus a starch separately. Goes with everything - Western, Asian, Mediterranean, Indian,

Ingredients
5 servings
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large saucepan or small pot over medium heat. (Note 3)
- Sauté veg - Cook onion and garlic for 1 minute until soft. Add cabbage, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the cabbage starts to soften but not completely floppy (as it will cook more with the rice).
- Coat rice - Add rice and stir well to coat in the flavour.
- Add the vegetable stock. Scrape down the sides and press the cabbage-rice mixture down so all the rice is submerged.
- Cook 12 minutes - Bring to a simmer, then cover with a lid, turn the stove down to medium low (or low on a stronger burner) and cook for 12 minutes. Do not peek or stir!
- Rest 10 minutes - Turn off the heat, remove the saucepan from the stove and let to rest for another 10 minutes (with the lid on).
- Fluff & serve - Use a rubber spatula or rice paddle to fluff the rice then tumble into a serving dish. Sprinkle with green onion and serve!
