Nasi bogana or nasi begana, pronounced as nah-see boh-gâna, is an

banana leaves and served with side dishes.[1]

This rice dish is a type of

nasi rames or nasi campur — terms used for dishes that have rice and a variety of side dishes.[2]

Nasi bogana is very popular in Indonesia and is sold all over the streets of

café.[3] It is considered a convenient dish as it is wrapped in banana leaves and is usually ready to bring and eat at any time. It is a type of fast food that is brought to workplaces to eat.[4]

Preparation

Nasi bogana is prepared by spreading a wide banana leaf and filling it with steamed rice. Then seasoning such as fried

steamer to keep it warm and is ready to eat at any time.[5]

Other times they are prepared as a regular rice dish without the banana leaves because the dish has been too common and restaurants do not follow the traditions.

Preparation of side dishes

The opor ayam is usually served as pieces without their bones. This is usually done because they can wrap it in banana leaves more easily without taking up too much space. There are two types of opor ayam: white gravy, commonly used in West Java, and yellow gravy, commonly used in Central Java. Both are sweet but yellow opor ayam tends to have curry spices in it.[6]

The dendeng is sometimes put on a stick and eaten the same way as a satay (meat in a skewer). The telur pindang boiled eggs are most of the time cut in half and only half is served. This depends on the occasion. Serundeng, fried chicken liver and gizzard in chili and coconut gravy (suggested to use cow livers rather than chicken to avoid the smell), sambal of shredded red chili and sautéed tempeh and sautéed string beans is served regularly, a spoon-full of each circling the steamed rice.[5]

Tradition and culture

In

kecap manis (sweet soybean sauce) and sambal terasi (fish and shrimp chili sauce). The drink that they have while having this dish is most of the time hot or iced black tea.[2]

Nutrition
