Tips!

How much nasi spices do you use per amount of rice?

For half a kilo (500 grams) of rice, use 2 large tablespoons or 4 teaspoons of spices. The exact amount of nasi spices you use depends on your own taste. Start by adding a few tablespoons of spices before adding more. This way, you can adjust the flavor to your liking.

What is the origin of nasi spices?

In Dutch cuisine, we use many spices from other countries. When you think of nasi, you probably think of Indonesia. These nasi spices come from Indonesia, as the translation of cooked rice is nasi.

Nasi is a popular dish in the Netherlands and Dutch-speaking Belgium, so many people are familiar with its flavor. Everyone can make nasi in their own way and adjust it to their taste.
