Nasi tim ayam

Nasi tim is a traditional rice dish. The dish is usually prepared with chicken, and it's then called nasi tim ayam, while the addition of shiitake mushrooms makes it called nasi tim ayam jamur. The chicken is usually seasoned with soy sauce and garlic and it's placed at the bottom of a tin bowl, along with some chicken stock. The meat is topped with rice, and the combination is steamed until done. Sometimes, a hard-boiled egg will be placed at the bottom of the bowl with the chicken. This dish is always served hot, which is the reason why it's regarded as comfort food. Due to the soft texture and slightly bland flavors, nasi tim ayam is suitable for small children. When served, it's often garnished with cilantro leaves and green onions.
